This is roughly how it should look:
This is how it is looking (Open Office):
This is how it is looking also (Wordpad):
I have made other fonts with Fontforge before that looked fine:
What am I getting wrong and how can I fix it?

Have you tried previewing it in Glyphr Studio, on the Live Preview page? The first thing to check would be that each character has an Advance Width that makes sense, and that the previews look good before you export the font.
If the exported font is still looking strange, send me an email with your project file attached and I can investigate: mail@glyphrstudio.com
Thanks for responding :)
Live Preview isn't working right because I am using Private Use Area Unicode code points;

Also I haven't added the default letters (A-Z) yet because this project is mostly focusing on punctuation. so they aren't showing up either.
If you have designs in for any Unicode Code Point, including Private Use area, then they should show up "normally" on the live preview page. It looks like you have some characters pasted there - were you expecting to have shapes show up in the preview, or are those characters blank?
Yes those characters in that box should indeed show up, They are the same L-like and speech-mark-like characters in the above post.
The numbers and other punctuation points are working decently, but then when I add " it broke and they all combined weirdly.

This is a bug I've been trying to track down, please email me your .gs2 project file so I can reproduce the bug and fix it! [mail@glyphrstudio.com](mailto:mail@glyphrstudio.com)
Will do :)

But even they are being highlighted weirdly.
This bug was fixed in v2.8.2
