Font Forum

Thanks for that info. I didn't know that. Do they work on Macs?

I'm so , so close on this. I'm not getting single lines in my exported font files. Could anyone take a look at these settings and tell me if they are right? (some may not be relevant and I may be leaving something crucial out): Tools ---> Options: check mark in "enable open contours" Tools...

That worked (autokern), thanks for the assist!

When I go into Open Type Designer, it is blank. How do I get individual kerning pairs up (without auto kerning) so I can alter them? Thanks so much.

Thanks so much, that corrected it.

Does anyone know why I have this yellow line above one of my letters? Also, why they are all showing up tiny in the preview boxes? Thanks so much.

Thanks for the reply. My design software is showing the first one I made as single lines, but not the others. May I send them to you to see if you can tell me the difference?

Also, when I set the output settings to double line, it looks single line but puts another copy of the glyphs on top and closes them. I’ve gotten this to work correctly on another font but am unsure what’s different.

I’m making a single line font, but the exported file installs with lines closing the glyphs. I’ve got the export settings to single line. I have the option in options —> font —> to allow open contours. Is there anothe step I’m missing?

Hi Erwin,

I don't want to change your software and have no idea what I did to make you think that. I clicked around and found whatever way that was built into this software to get the preview to show up like you have in your photo. Didn't mean to waste your time.

Sincerely,
Leslie

I found a way to get the program to display them in stick form on that preview because I can't tell enough with the thick lines like in your photo. Then, when I got it to show the thin lines, the problem happened with the ends shrinking down as I altered the right and left sides. Does that make sense?

.. in my photos, note that I was working with one font when I wrote to you first, then I've changed to a different one in which it is easier to get the kerning right.

Yes I tried the F5 feature but it does not show correctly either. Also, for some reason the single line option does not export in single line. i have to use double line to get this effect i need.

Getting there. I'm working with single lines now and it's amazing. I'm having an issue with getting the joins to be precise. The preview pane is not showing them correctly as I get them closer together. Any advice on this? Also, is there any software program or website such as wordmark.it that will ...

Gotcha. Upgrading now.
