I removed some lookups from the calt feature and connected SingleSubstitution2 to ChainingContext1.

Consider it done with the next upcoming release.

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...

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

slnt value -14 fall out of the range, so those are removed.

Does this update solve the issue?

Is MainType maximized?

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...

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.

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.

I am glad to hear the glitch is solved!

We have just released an update that improves the way the font manager is started. Within MainType select Help -> Check for Updates to get it.

A ligature is used as a replacement of two or more glyphs. What you describe related to cursive attachment, but that is not meant for Latin based characters. However, it might be worth a try to upload an illustration or screenshot of what you try to achieve. Or upload a reduced version of your font,...

That is good to know!

@abackhaus did it solve the problem for you as well?

Here it obviously works just fine, but we have made some adjustments which should solve the problem.
