Font Forum

Thanks a lot for explaining, Bhikkhu! Much appreciated!
Turns out, I've been doing it exactly right from the start, haha

I've been making fonts with Fontcreator for a couple of decades now, but I never understood what I'm supposed to do with the glyphs that contain only the accents like tilde, cedilla, all the accents et cetera. How are these used? Do they need spacing? Should they be at caps height or x height? And w...

@bikkhu: no I didn't. A warning that I would have had to do so would maybe have been in place.

Anyway; no use crying over spilled milk.

I just clicked the update button, so I guess it's installed over the old version? It's installed in the same location, on my secondary hard drive for sure.

I've updated to version 10 and all my custom tags are gone. Definitely not happy about that, as it was the main feature I used the software for, and it was a real pain in the arse to tag all 2000+ fonts I have in my library.

Please tell me there's a way to get them back?

Dankjewel, Erwin. I have figured out what I did wrong: I had renamed the feature by adding a 1 to 'swash1', that was the culprit.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, and apologies for not RTFM properly

I've made a voluptuous new font that I want to make even ballsier by adding alternative swash capitals in the otf options. I've tried several things but to no avail. Can anyone help me figure out how to do this?
