That is just how OpenType layout features work. They are bound to a script.

I strongly recommend to move forward and correct the codeponts to the actual Unicode values.

You can remove the folder through the font folder dialog.

Is it a large folder or slow drive?

Thank you for reporting this issue!

Your findings are indeed correct.

The minus sign causes the problem, as that character is used internally. Just start with any other character and you're good to go!

The next upcoming major release will not accept tag names starting with a "-".

This is not how it is supposed to work. I'm sorry.

We've tested this new functionality with both Windows 7 and Windows 10, and both didn't automatically assign FontCreator as the default program.

It is possible Windows did assign it in case no other software was assigned to that file extension, but I can't verify this.

The latest version (9.1.0.1991) did solve the problem.

Better avoid using the older versions!

I really want to find the cause of this problem...

This version also seems to fail on kerning in WinAmp. At least on my old Win XP.

Please can you also send me a font file (exported through 1950) so I can see how that one works?

Can you send the font and/or the font project to me?

Also be ware you should no longer change a glyph's side bearings as soon as you start with the kerning. If you do change for example the right side bearing of the "f" all kerning pairs that start with the "f" will have to be corrected.

I've just found the cause of the problem.

You accidentally enabled "Ignore Base Glyphs". With this option all glyphs with GlyphType set to Simple are skipped. Obviously most/all of your kerning glyphs are simple.

So uncheck that box, and all should work again!

I've just:

- Opened the project
- Went to the fr kerning pair and set XAdvance to 140.
- Pressed the OK button.
- Saved the project.
- Opened it again.
- And see the value is 140.

So it works just fine here.

We've just released another update, do let us know if that solves the problem.
