Font Forum

remember when i was having this issue? viewtopic.php?p=47679#p47679

well now im having the same one. im using the newest version of fc and im getting that same error when i try to import this svg: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D2U-0E ... sp=sharing

The link does not let me download the file.

If you archive the file, you can attach the archive to your post.

7-Zip will compress SVG files to *.7z format better than to *.zip archives.

try the link now?

Confirmed in both FC14 and FC15.

This issue will be fixed with the next upcoming major release, thus FontCreator 15.

I'm using the latest version of 15 and SVG wont import (by pasting)

(This is copied from illustrator)

Try to copy and paste it to a FC glyph

It works just fine if I save that as an .svg file and import it.

Copy and paste through the clipboard is always tricky as usually there are numerous formats copied to the clipboard. We might need a short remote desktop session to understand the exact problem.

I'm free, when do you want to go on a call?

Today is fine as well

Thank you for your time today with the desktop sharing session. The issue seems to be related to the fact you use our font editor on a Mac, and somehow Parallels seems to remove the vector based data formats from the clipboard. Then FontCreator only sees the raster based .png format, and in this case the fill color of the outline is too light, so it is not considered to be part of the outline.

Maybe the issue is solved with a more recent version of Parallels, so let us know if that solves the problem.

Hey Erwin
I've upgraded to Parallels 19 (latest) and tried to copy from FC to Illustrator and it pastes string: "Font Data" instead of the shape
Should we hop on another call?
