Interpolation error with /dvmvL:

Great job people! I love the Kalam font!

I have been using the font in my journal software for its handwritten look. It works prefect when there are no numbers within the text.

1 and l (small case L)
2 and Z
5 and S (not as bad as the above two)
0 and O (quite obvious)

Wonder if the shapes can be tweaked subtly to make them different enough to not get mixed up easily.

We are using the Kalam font for our interactive algebra notation at https://graspablemath.com and we – and our users – love it! One of our goals is to make algebra less scary for students, and the friendly, personal feeling of Kalam is a great fit for that! Here is an example:

The problem we are now running into is that there are many characters that are not supported in Kalam. Examples are greek letters or ∓. Another problem is how easily some characters are confused with each other: #3.

Does anybody have an idea how we could go about adding more glyphs or glyph variants to the font?
