Font Forum

This is all new to me, but three things seemed odd or counter-intuitive. 1. I'm editing the 'z' glyph, but the tab changes to 'a'. I've now discovered why. 2. The first 'a' glyph superimposed on the 'z' shows up in the preview, but the second 'a' doesn't. I now know why. 3. When the project is saved...

CORRECTION
I didn't mean "Validation Window" - I meant "Font Overview".

(I misread the picture in the Manual's "Getting started" section.)

If you want the software to be idiot-proof, I'm your man, it seems.

I can now easily reproduce what seems to be a strange state. I think if I continued to work with it, it would get worse. I opened the 'z' glyph and superimposed on it the 'a' glyph. That works every time. I double-clicked a red contour to produce what is shown on the full-screen screenshot. Full scr...

I'm not completely sure that explains what happened.

Suppose it happens again and I immediately save the project file; would you like me to send it to you?

Erwin You will probably remember that I am using an unofficial release of FontCreator Professional (Version 15.0.0.2985 (64-bit)), and that I said I would report any problems that arose. I've been doing a lot of glyph editing and sometimes it goes wrong. I'm not sure what sequence of actions causes ...

Thanks for your reply and explanation.
I can live with this OK.

It seems to have something to do with wrapping text.
I've also discovered that it doesn't just apply to f and j.

I hope this is helpful.

I forgot to say that the problem does not occur in Microsoft Word.

I think I may have stumbled upon an undesirable effect within the "Test Font" panel. If I keep the panel window narrow, my developing font shows up as it should, but if I extend the window width, some lines change to a different font. Similarly, if I start typing a new line of text, it loo...

That's interesting.

The Changelog shows
Version 15.0.0.2974 (25 April, which is in the future)

and thanks to you, I now have
Version 15.0.0.2985, which I suppose is an unofficial release (beta ?).

If problems arise, I'll let you know.

Yes, thanks. That fixed the problem. Now I can get back to developing the font.

Excellent service!

I'm very pleased to have contributed in this small way.

The result was only slightly different with the unofficial update, as shown by the screen captures.

Similar to another person's bug report, but this may provide more information. It appears to be repeatable. Install hang.png Cancel also hangs. The above also happens with Export Font. If I close the dialogue, and try again... Access violation.png Close the dialogue by means of the X in the top righ...

This is good news. It will save me a lot of time and effort. I tested it with whole classes instead of single characters, and it worked. Here's the code, in case someone else finds it useful... @horiz_right = [o r v w t]; @horiz_left = [a c f g i j m-s u-y]; lookup MultipleSubstitution1 { # GSUB loo...
