The vendor id database is maintained by Microsoft. You can register a four-letter Vendor ID.

Thanks!

Those are points, not pixels. To me it looks like an issue with your font's metrics. In the glyph overview the displayed glyphs are tiny compared to the overview cells (compare to the incomplete © symbol), and the line-spacing in the Preview Toolbar is excessive. Some fonts like Cambria Maths requi...

I did as you said now, made new character range for the Private Use Area code-points (999 of them), and copied my "unmapped" characters and special-pasted them into the new code-points but the opentype features didn't move to the new pasted glyphs, it stayed with the old ones (which is not what I n...

That is exactly what you avoid that way! Oh. Okay so I look up to Special Paste - very cool feature indeed! I was not aware of it.

Hey
I bought a 4k screen and I use fontcreator
But I can't go beyond 512 pixels in the Preview window
Look at my screenshow: Can you please increase this number in the next update?
I would appreciate it alot
Thank you

Thanks for the quick response Erwin, I really appreciate that. What you suggested would work yes, but I'd have to re-modify every opentype feature I've ever put in the Opentype Designer... and there's a bunch of them. (ligatures, stylistic sets, contextual alternates logic and so on) Is there anothe...

I understand, so I will manage using illustrator for manipulating the glyphs for now.

Will there be any feature like that in the future?

Sometimes I have tons of stylistic sets in my font, and I have to manually add PUA code to them $E000, $E001, $E002, and so on, in order for them to work in photoshop and *other softwares : *reference: https://www.creativefabrica.com/the-ultimate-font-guide/pua-encoded-fonts/ Is there a batch functi...

Hi
Is there a way to rotate / scale selected points?

For example, only the points I marked with yellow:

(it would be best to be able to scale/rotate from a specified anchor point that the user can change)



Thanks for reading

That's the beauty of access keys over shortcuts. You do not have to remember them. If you don't pick up the program for a year, the shortcuts are underlined. C lear G enerate E dit...

Click on a contour to select it Click on it again to show the rotate handles at the corners and the centre of rotation at the centre Move the centre of rotation before rotating or skewing the contour Hold down the Shift key to rotate in steps of 15° Drag the side handles to skew the contour, e.g. f...

A Context Menu would be slower. I understand that some users are addicted to doing everything with the mouse, but it really is much less efficient. If Edit Glyph Names were to be added to the Context Menu for selected glyphs, it would have to be a submenu like the current Ta g s submenu, because th...

When manipulating a shape via Scale, Tilt, and so on, it always changes the shape from the point clicked on. Is there a way to set the transform origin anchor point when manipulating a shape? for example, in photoshop when you scale with Transform Tool and hold ALT, it scales from the center. and if...

Thanks I wasn't aware of that!

That's a weird shortcut but it works, thanks. Is there a map for the commands, if I forget anything? (or want to learn new commands like this)? Just look at the menu. Access Keys for Edit Glyph Names.png WOAH. blew my mind! Thank you! this is a time saver. (however a right-click shortcut would stil...
