Please try with FontCreator 11, as it contains several bug fixes and improvements related to OpenType layout features, and let us know if that solves the issues.

I've looked into your font, and I think you've implemented the OpenType features pretty good, except you accidentally added the Thai features to Latin script. You need to add Thai script and add the features to that script. Alternatively select the Latin script, right-click and select Change Tag, to select Thai (thai).

Also be aware Fractions are currently not supported by Microsoft Word.

As Erwin said above:

LibreOffice now supports OpenType features, including fractions, but it is not too easy to use. To enable the fractions feature you need to type ":frac" after the font name in the font selection field or style dialogue. This screenshot demonstrates the feature using my Pali font.

Word tries to be smart through AutoFormat As You Type:

In Dutch, the apostrophe is used to indicate omitted characters. Many advertisements are written in Word, and result in smart quotes that are incorrect. Most people won't notice it, but we seen them everywhere, even on national TV. Here is one from a tennis club:

It should say:
'T SCHILT or ’T SCHILT but never ‘T SCHILT

I'm amazed that anyone could fail to notice it, but that's probably just me! :lol:

I was immediately reminded of 's Gravenhage, so I did a search and found numerous references to 's-Gravenhage. Do you use a hyphen, or do you just refer to Den Haag instead? :P
