Unfortunately the way our shaping engine handles bidi direction is far from complete, so this will remain an issue. Better test your font in a web browser.

[faisal.quadirey]

Thanks but when I export font from this latest software its also destroyed my font and does not working in any software.
And how long will you be out of this problem?

[Erwin Denissen]

Thanks but when I export font from this latest software its also destroyed my font and does not working in any software.

What problems and in what software? Here it all seems to work just fine in a web browser.

[faisal.quadirey]

sorry sir for

I export font from this latest software its also destroyed my font and does not working in any software

now i am sending you both projects created in FC-13 & FC-15 with snap shots FYI.

and also i asked that: How long will you be out of this?

Unfortunately the way our shaping engine handles bidi direction is far from complete, so this will remain an issue.

[Erwin Denissen]

I tested both in a web browser and it all works just fine.

Please send me a clear instruction on how to reproduce the problem. If you tell me in what Word processor you made those screenshots and provide the text, then I might be able to investigate further.

[faisal.quadirey]

I am using Adobe Indesign (2023 & 2024), facing problem in both versions I have.
Please find the text file for your reference.

When I produce font file from FC15. Ligatures like ( ۝۲ۙ) collides with text.

If I export .ttf file from FC13. It works perfectly means ligatures never collides with text.

Over the years Adobe has fixed numerous issues related to font support in their software, but there are still many issues. To make it more complex, they use three different font shaping engines (a basic one, a composer one for complex scripts, and optionally/ experimental Harfbuzz), so what works in one, might fail in another.

As you know, FontCreator comes with cutting edge technology to optimize the internal OpenType feature data, and Adobe software sometimes chokes on such fonts. So as a workaround, you could disable this optimize feature in the Options dialog -> Font tab -> Optimize storage of OpenType layout features. If this solves the issue, then please contact Adobe and ask them to fix their software. You can do this here:

Let us know if this helps.

issue persists.
I had checked preview in browser.

[Erwin Denissen]

If it is still an issue in web browsers, then it most likely is an issue within FontCreator.

We will look into this and get back to you as soon as we located the cause of the problem.

[Erwin Denissen]

The previous version did a better job at guessing the OT Class. For example arabicendofayah_extendedarabicindictwo_smallhighlamalefcomb-arab.ccmp used to be set to Base, while version 15 set it to a Mark. That caused the problem, and this release has a fix for it.

Please let us know your results.

[faisal.quadirey]

Thanks sir works perfectly.
but half of the issue still exist

example with arabicendofayah has been solved as you said.

but with dottedcircle still collides
for example: dottedcircle_smallhighjeemcomb-arab.ccmp
text for your reference قَبْلِكَ ◌ۚ وَ
(◌ۚ)

Some more changes related to OT Class:
