When inputting a numeric value in the Scale and Transformation numeric fields in the Composite Glyph Properties dialog box, the entered digits get all scrambled up in an apparently haphazard way. On inspection, it turns out thereʼs actually a system to it: After selecting the original value [usually...

Intermediate research result (short of calling off the alert): The error seems to be caused by an error in the database. Iʼm still trying to pin down which of the files is the culprit, but I think I can narrow it down to “Blocks.txt” and “Glyphnamesnew.dat”. The way things usually happen, my money i...

Hi Bhikkhu, always the Man of the Hour! Iʼm glad itʼs you who answered, you seem to be the most well‐versed FontCreator user around, maybe except the “Big Man Himself”, Erwin.

Hi Bhikkhu, Iʼm well aware of the constraints concerning autohinting. Iʼve used it successfully with previous versions of FontCreator (like version 9.1). Since version 10, I continually get error messages, and the — same — font gets compiled without ANY hinting at all (much worse than ever before). ...

Iʼve purchased FontCreator 10 Standard, hoping it might resolve the well‑known issue with autohinting. Alas, it didnʼt. In an online chat with High‑Logic, I was assured that it would be possible to acquire Version 9.1 (which didnʼt have that problem), under the umbrella of my version 10 license. How...
