The notes are positioned relative to that. Some notes will need a large descender. Never mind, position them where you need to, then Fo...

I tried a test with the first two symbols in that range, and it works fine in both Wordpad and Open Office 2.0 in Windows ME. If so, it should certainly work OK in Word on Windows XP. Most likely cause is that the font is not installed properly. Try deleting in from the Windows Font folder and reins...

Superscripts

Superscripts can be scaled from the existing figures in a font, but if we just scale them, they will be too light compared to the rest of the font. First, measure the weight of digit 1. http://forum.high-logic.com/postedimages/Superscript%20Tutorial%2001.png In this font it is 160 funits. If the sup...

William is correct. If you have mapped the characters then the code-point to type in Wordpad is shown in the Overview caption, but it depends on your setting in Tools, Options, Overview. There you can choose between Hex or Decimal coding. Typing with the Alter key uses decimal code point, though som...

Several of the glyphs are not mapped at all. If you do Font, Sort, you will quickly see which ones.

There is no need to uncheck the box in the Wizard. Unchecking the box just means that the font won't be copied to C:\Windows\Fonts from its current location in C:\My Fonts\ — only the font registry will be updated. The Help file advised against saving fonts directly into C:\Windows\Fonts,not against...

You should use the Font Installer Wizard to install the font, but you should not save the font file in the Windows fonts folder. Make yourself a new directory to save your fonts for editing, such as C:\My Fonts\ and open the fonts from there. If you're editing existing fonts, then save a backup copy...

Gentium Alt uses the same flat acute that you see above, and it suffers from the same problem as Gentium Regular. A Ring Acute and a few other glyphs cross over the WinAscent or WinDescent lines. http://www.aimwell.org/Fonts/GentiumAlt.GIF Download the Gentium font and take a look. It is still a ver...
