When opening the attached font file with FontCreator 10.1.0, the outlines are not the ones that appear to be in the font from all other ways of looking at it.
Here's the font as it appears in MainType:
And, here is it opened in FontCreator:
My only thought was that some other font file was interfering, but I don't have a font by that same name anywhere else on the system. Is there any setting in a font file that can cause it to render as italic/slanted even though the outlines are not?

Re: Wrong outlines loaded
This is not a bug in FontCreator. The italic flag is enabled in Font Properties.
Re: Wrong outlines loaded
OK, so then the FontCreator bug is that the preview on FontCreator doesn't show the font in italics, like every other program does. Also, the "test current font as TTF/OTF" view doesn't show the italics.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:This is not a bug in FontCreator. The italic flag is enabled in Font Properties.
Both of these should display the font rendered as it will actually render by any other software.

There is indeed something fishy with this font.
I'll see if I can locate the issue.
