Hi, I still have problems with exported font TTF file as I said earlier. I converted all composite glyphs to simple glyphs. The text sample of "Enjoy!" is blanked out. I went to Microsoft Word. I can only see blank text in Font Name while tooltips shows font name. I am able to see the char...

I don't understand why it fails, as technically nothing is wrong. It might be better if FontCreator removes empty components on export. Hi, Thank you for the reply. Do you suggest that FontCreator has bugs on empty glyph linked to composite glyph? You mentioned the word: "empty components"...

Hi, I created five simple glyphs: Border, Bit 1, Bit 2, Bit 3, and Bit 4. I created one composite glyph: Sample. Border, Bit 1, Bit 2, Bit 3, and Bit 4 glyphs are linked to Sample glyph. I clicked "Install..." from Font menu. "Font Installation Wizard" dialog is displayed. I clic...

Hi, Will you please explain how do I design four contours of vertical rectangle on the grid correctly? For example, first vertical rectangle is positioned at (100, 0) and second vertical rectangle is positioned at (800, 0). Both of them have height 1000 units and width 100 units. Both left side bear...

Hi, Will you please explain why do I need Cursive anchors? I will only design three simple glyphs before eight composite glyphs will be linked to three simple glyphs. I don't need to modify the contours in composite glyphs. I will only need to modify the contours in three simple glyphs. All contours...

Hi, I created three simple glyphs. All three glyphs have glyph names. They are First_Glyph, Second_Glyph, and Third_Glyph. They have same left side bearing, right side bearing, and advance width in the Glyph Properties. I wanted to link three glyphs into fourth composite glyph. Fourth composite glyp...

Hi, I opened Courier New font file into FontCreator. The contours look smoothly with slope line like letter ‘A’ in the glyph edit. I opened "Test Desktop Font (TTF/OTF)" dialog from Font menu. The letter ‘A’ in this dialog does not look smoothly, but it looks like pixelated. Please confirm...

Hi, I will like to display the control character font to the screen. This will help to reveal the horizontal tab symbol and carriage return symbol. Can I assign the value from the range $00 through $1F on the code-point in Glyph Properties panel? Why are Glyphs folder show 32 Unused? After I press a...

Hi, You may be right that FontCreator has a rounding error. I will like to share my findings how the circles are going to be perfect on a pixelated grid. I downloaded the font with TTF format file from the internet. I opened the font with TTF format file into FontCreator. I was in glyph panel. I saw...

Hi, I was in glyph panel. I clicked the "Add Ellipse" icon. I drew the perfect circle on the grid from (top, left): 500, 100 to (bottom, right): 100, 500. The diameter is 400 units. I clicked "Test Desktop Font (TTF/OTF)" from Font menu. I changed the font size from 10 points thr...

Hi, Will I be able to design two font characters into the single glyph? If it is impossible, will I be able to insert two font characters in single character into Microsoft Word by pressing left ALT key and keypad Unicode numbers? For example, I press and hold the left ALT key while entering keypads...

Hi, Do FontCreator have the settings to allow me to configure the TTF to Raster font in Font Properties before I export Raster font into TTF? I use fixed advance width in the glyph for all font characters. I will like to install Raster font TTF into Windows 10's Terminal like Command Prompt. I prefe...

Hi, If I set 2048 Units per EM in Font Properties, how do I know the minimum Y and maximum Y in Glyph Editor before I will set Win Ascent to 2200 and Win Deascent to -700. If the numbers exceed 2200 in Win Ascent and -700 in Win Deascent, then drawn font is shown in glyph, but outside of drawn font ...

Hi, Thank you for explaining the border's thickness from font size. I chose to draw inner square first before outer square because I try to make sure that placing contour on the correct grid location each 50 units. I will not click the mouse's left button if contour is at (149,151) or (148, 152). I ...

Hi, I am new to FontCreator 14. I am learning how to draw font in glyph correctly. I set Units per EM to 2048 in Font Properties. I set Between grid points in units to 50 in Grid Options. I opened the glyph with character 'A'. I placed four contours in glyph locations: (100, 100), (1000, 100),(100, ...
