Re: Truncated texts in Modify Font Folder dialog

Thank you for letting us know.

You seem to use a slightly larger font size than expected. We will make the dialog a little wider, but it might still not fit all text.

Re: Auto-load font folder on startup

Right, but I don't want to install them on the PC, I only need them loaded so I can see and use them for art files. The previous font organizer I used would load every font in my font folder on startup so I could use them but didn't have to install them. As long as the program was open all those fo...

Re: Maximum height for font

There is a range within the font specification that you should not exceed. It is expressed as the white area within a glyph panel. The top should not exceed 16K and the bottom should not go below -16K. Note that there might be font renderers that cause problems even with lower values. FontCreator us...

Re: Issue when using boolean operations with cubic contours that have overlapping handles

Confirmed. This issue will be fixed with the next upcoming release. But there will probably remain some rare cases where it fails.

Re: Maximum height for font

I suggest to keep the top of your outlines below the upem value. If your outlines also go below the baseline then you might want to further reduce the top to ¾ upem. But best is to experiment and find a good setting for your specific font. Some more information that might help: https://www.high-logi...

Re: Auto-load font folder on startup

You can add a font folder to MainType's libray and let it periodically synchronize it. Then when it finds new fonts in the folder, MainType will automatically install them.

Re: Adapt to Chinese handwritten characters

The vertical position should be how you draw the outlines, but the horizontal position is something that is calculated by Scanahand.

We might consider your suggested adaption if more people want such enhancement.
