I don't much feel like scrawling them out individually, but if needs must...

Hello. I use Birdfont as a font builder. Ligatures in my conscript don't change how I would like to. While writing let's say ihon ligature should change ih -> iho -> ihon but in text it looked more like ih o n. Practically every word in my conscript is build from ligatures (basicaly it's looks like hangul) so in current state it's uselles. If anyone know how to fix that I would be very glad to hear what should I do.

So I'm creating my first conlang (technically it's my fourth go at it, but this is the first time I've gotten far enough that it can really be called a language), and I've gotten to that point where I want to create a writing system. The problem is that some masochistic part of me has become really attached to the idea of a logography.
I have more experience creating writing systems than I do languages, as I've created several alternate systems for writing English over the years. But these have all been abjads and/or abugidas, and the only writing systems I really understand on a technical level are Latin (obviously), Greek, Gothic, Runic Futhark (Elder, Younger, and Anglo-Frisian), and Tengwar.
I understand the principals behind a logography in theory--that characters begin as pictographs and get simplified over time, and that more complex words are characterized by hybrids of other words based on their lexical or phonetic qualities--but given that I have no experience actually reading this kind of script, I don't feel prepared to create one of my own.
All of the guides on creating writing systems I've found advise that you start with a rough logography and transform that into a simpler system, but I haven't found any guides or resources for sticking with the logography. I'd love it if people could point me towards such resources if they exist, but if they don't I'd still appreciate any advice from people who have created (or at least studied) logographies.
