Font Forum

I'm just trialing FC but with a view to helping expand a fairly large CJK font. I've worked out how to compose a new character for a Unicode code-point that is currently missing but here's my question: if I want to feed this back to the main editor (i.e. the person in charge of the font), how do I export just the new characters so I don't have to send the entire font project every time, plus how would one go about importing just the new characters at the other end? I've searched the Help and the forum but no obvious solutions, sorry if I've missed it.

I think the best method would be to use the "Include in Export" feature to export a new font containing just the essential glyphs and the new glyphs. Others could open that in their own font editor, then copy/paste the new glyphs to new glyphs in the original font.

Ohh that sounds workable, I'll try that, thanks

Hm I gave that a try, right-clicked a new character and marked it "Include in Exports > All" and then did "Export As" but that exported the entire font. I then selected all except for the new character and marked them as "Include in Exports > None" and did "Export" but the file only contains the High-Logic logo symbol. What am I doing wrong?

It seems you are running an unlicensed version, which as the popup dialogs also tell you, have some restrictions.

So you do nothing wrong, just some glyphs will contains the High-Logic watermark. The font will export just fine as soon as you provide a valid license.

Ah I'd forgotten about that - thanks!
