Re: Problem with Zilla Slab font family (OTF format): "glyph is missing", cannot embed into PDF files

1.002 otf with default Word to PDF export. See attached PDF. Many thanks for testing that, Erwin. For the benefit of others reading this forum, the output has the correct appearance visually at a glance, but this has been achieved by rasterising the characters (to form high-resolution bitmap images...

Re: Problem with Zilla Slab font family (OTF format): "glyph is missing", cannot embed into PDF files

By the way, I have been poking around inside the source code, and am not entirely sure that the fonts were perfectly fine. I have lodged an issue with the Zilla Slab fonts on GitHub. It's looking even more like there was a peculiar glitch in the fonts: accidental omission of the VendorID SOMEHOW le...

Re: Problem with Zilla Slab font family (OTF format): "glyph is missing", cannot embed into PDF files

It is hard to tell, as technically the font is just fine and I am able to export a Word document as PDF with this font in use. Thank-you for your time to test that. Could you please confirm the details of the testing: which version (1.001 or 1.002), which format (TTF or OTF), which specific font(s)...

Re: Problem with Zilla Slab font family (OTF format): "glyph is missing", cannot embed into PDF files

I don't understand why, exactly, that Windows Character Map displays a lot of character sets that each contain very few glyphs or none. OK, let's not worry about that too much. I initially had the misapprehension that it was specifically related to the problem I had embedding this font. The CJK cha...

Re: Problem with Zilla Slab font family (OTF format): "glyph is missing", cannot embed into PDF files

By the way, it is actually not an inherent problem with OTF particularly, nor with glyphs being unmapped per se , nor the use of cubic CFF ("PostScript") outlines, because I can successfully embed Courier Std into a PDF file using either Editor (but not Word), which is an OTF font containi...

Re: Problem with Zilla Slab font family (OTF format): "glyph is missing", cannot embed into PDF files

I have access to FontCreator version 11.5, Professional Edition. That is a really old version. Specifically I have version 11.5.02430 (64-bit), which was released on the 5th of December 2018, and retained the most-recent-version status until the 7th of May 2019 . Which is roughly four years ago. Ce...

Problem with Zilla Slab font family (OTF format): "glyph is missing", cannot embed into PDF files

In the Zilla Slab fonts in OTF format there seem to be many thousands of characters (code-points) defined for which no glyphs are specified within the font itself. In OTF format there are thousands of code-points/characters defined, but in both OTF and TTF format there are only ~512 characters for w...

Re: All images missing from help browser

The images also seem to reliably show up in the default help browser ( Microsoft® HTML Help Executable ) by refreshing the page/content display. This is analogous to pressing the F5 key when in Internet Explorer. However, in the help browser there is no 'hotkey' to refresh the display, so it is nece...

Text styles also ignored

I have also just discovered that whenever images are missing, the styles are also ignored. For the FontCreator CHM help file: Inline text HTML formatting like bolding (<b>) or headings (<h1>) are respected, but formatting defined in the stylesheet (default.css) is completely ignored, so the font def...

Re: All images missing from help browser

Thanks. It seems to be an erratic problem — always the hardest to diagnose. :OT Not technically "off topic" as per the title, but not specifically related to FontCreator or other High-Logic products. I tried pausing antivirus protection/security, with no effect. I tried registering the fil...

Microsoft® HTML Help Executable

It does seem to be a more general problem with the " Microsoft® HTML Help Executable " help viewer on my system. 7-Zip CHM file: contains only text, so no evidence of problems. FontCreator CHM file: all text shown, but images not displayed (placeholder/error symbol shown instead). Missing ...

Re: All images missing from help browser

Perhaps the FontCreator.chm files (original and updated) are OK: I can view them correctly, with all images displayed, using a different help viewer, namely Sumatra PDF.

Re: All images missing from help browser

Hello, Erwin Denissen. Thank-you for supplying an updated file. I am not sure whether I have 'installed' it correctly. First I closed FontCreator. I renamed the original help file, and copied the updated help file you provided into the FontCreator directory. It is unfortunate that this does not seem...
