Hi
I've made my first font in illustrator and than copied all glyphs to type tool, plus I've made some kerning, the font looks OK but few glyphs wont display  for example: @ & but they are in font file. Can anyone help me, maybe check font file and explain to me what I did wrong, what I need improve. 
Here you can download font file in otf format: http://graffiz.deviantart.com/art/Elevation-139375903
It was ma first font and it was only made to get my familiar with design process.
Thanks in advance

Here is how your font opens in Fontlab Studio.

ok, but I cant really clean those glyphs, even if I'll delete them from table and reopen the font it looks same, I know it's my fault (lack of experience), could you recommend any sites where I could learn more about type tool work-flow??
thanks Alex

You only need to put ABD and abd glyphs in proper cells. Now you have uppercase in positions of lowercase while lowercase glyphs do not have Unicodes assigned (and you can see them at the end of the table).
Then go to Font Info and rename all occurances of ELEVATION to Elevation.
Then go to Preferences/Options and turn on the "Automatically reorder glyphs" option in "Generating OT and TT" section. Export the font.
