I'm glad! I'm surprised you'd be using FontForge if you're taking a course in typography xP
One caveat if you're going to add variants to a production/important font on a deadline: FontForge, at least the somewhat outdated version I have, has a tendency to crash when the GSUB tables get large. You can still work on it, but you can't preview it inside the program, which can end up wasting quite a bit of your time. Save often and be ready for tears ;D
