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...

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

As I said earlier, change the position of the anchor on the k, not on the accent, and why are you using doubleacute.comb for k cedilla?

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

If k cedilla (comma) is composed with the Complete Composites method, the following code will be used: <Composite><!-- k cedilla (comma) --> <GlyphMapping>311</GlyphMapping> <Member id="1"> <GlyphMapping>107</GlyphMapping> <UseMetrics>TRUE</UseMetrics> </Member> <Member id="2"> <...

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

You need to edit the anchor position on the h, not on the caron accent.

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

I am using Vivaldi, which is also Chrome-based.

Edit: The download page now shows the 64-bit version as the default.

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

I noticed that L middledot only composes with CompleteComposites, not with Auto or Anchor-based composition. Another small point, the button on the download page default to downloading the 32-bit version, but you recommend installing the 64-bit version of the user's OS supports it. Wouldn't it make ...
