Re: Complete composite not work as it should be

It is not true. I am just a volunteer here. I have used FontCreator for many years, but I don’t have time to diagnose the problem by guessing what you might have done. Stop blaming the software for your own errors. You can send the faulty font project to Erwin, but attaching it here means anyone ca...

Re: Complete composite not work as it should be

There is nothing anyone can do to test without the font project. Attach it to the forum.

Re: Complete composite

The majority of those additional characters are not composites, but simple glyphs.

You really need to give something specific for Erwin to work on.

Re: Making swash character making file size much bigger

Try Optimising the contours. Probably, there are way more points than are needed. Look at the hintline to see just how many there are in each swash glyph. If they are imported from images, there may be a lot.

Re: Making swash character making file size much bigger

It is unlikely to be a bug, and a file size of 421 kb is not too big. Many of my fonts are over 1 Mb for a single typeface.

Re: Why my font not searchable on PDF?

It depends on how the PDF was produced. Can you select the text?

The glyphs may have been converted to curves.

Re: Copy kerning information

With a new font, you can use the Autokern Wizard . By using kerning classes, large numbers of kerning pairs can be grouped in one class, e.g. Ta will be in the same class as Tą but ā and ă will need different kerning classes. The Auto-kerning wizard will create these classes for you, but I prefer to...

Re: How can I insert synthetic glyphs into multiple glyphs at once?

It is an old version. Which version of FontCreator are you using?

14.0.0.2901 was the latest build from the previous version. FontCreator 15 is now available.

Re: Complete Composites does not work in stylistic sets

There is no definition in the CompositsData.xml for Stylistic Sets. Try Anchor-based composition, or Auto. Complete Composites using CompositeData.xml is designed to compose DZ, L middle dot, etc., but not for Stylistic Sets. You could edit the file to add your own data for that if Anchor-based comp...

Re: Complete Composites dies not works in stylistic sets

Not a bug. The Complete Composites feature is not designed to work with Stylistic Sets.

Ctrl+X would be nice if it does not conflict with other uses of Cutting the selected contour to the clipboard, etc.

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters

Use Complete Composites for this. A definition exists in CompositeData.xml. <Composite><!-- L Middle Dot --> <GlyphMapping>319</GlyphMapping> <Member id="1"> <GlyphMapping>76</GlyphMapping> <UseMetrics>TRUE</UseMetrics> </Member> <Member id="2"> <GlyphMapping>183</GlyphMapping> <...

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters

If you are moving anchors, use anchor-based glyph composition.

Re: Sort out only system fonts?

Yeah, I've heard that said before. But I don't think ALL those fonts are critical to Windows; things like Comic Sans are just plain stupid! And I'll NEVER need all those Chinese and other foreign fonts! MainType's list of System fonts does not include Comic Sans or those Chinese and other foreign f...
