Which section of the manual deals with this?

I have now exhaused most letters, how do I test these?. For example, the upside exclamation is only really used on Spanish keyboards:



Out of these, I only have a £ symbol as I live in the UK

That means I have to use quadratic beziers?

Hi all Apologies for the delays in replying due to personal reasons I have continued working on the font I have encountered this issue with the glyphs, there appears to be some issue with how the vector image is represented in Font Creator: https://i.imgur.com/zB4dmVI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Dx2takr...

The main form font contains more than 1400 characters so I would have to create multiple fonts as this exceeds what is on the a keyboard. That should not be necessary. There is only one "a" on the keyboard, but I can type a à á ä ã â A À Á Ä Ã Â etc. Just install an extended keyboard in W...

Each different colour requires its own glyph member. The hollow circles in your screen shot are also grey. Look again at the tutorial on Multi-coloured Glyphs that I linked to earlier. Take a look at the multi-coloured glyphs in the Odana.fcp font project attached to that tutorial to see how multi-...

Many thanks Bhikkhu

I tried to use the colour palette and it changed almost all the circles to grey:



I am only looking to change some of the colours of the circles not all.

I look forward to your thoughts on this

Many thanks Mr Denisson, I have aligned it correctly now and it is showing up in the test box (strangely the screen capture software can't capture this box). I am now trying to adjust the colours as Mr Pesala had suggested: See Tools, Options, Exchange to modify the scaling and position of imported ...

Dear All Thank you so much for keeping this thread open, real life has been hectic with disruptions caused by the ongoing Covid Pandemic. I greatly appreciate your patience from everyone here.

Have there been any similar attempts to create ancient fonts?

Hi Erwin I feel it is difficult to convey my issue without showing what is happening on my screen when I try to insert SVGs glyphs into Font Creator I found out that Windows 10 has this function of screen capturing: https://betanews.com/2019/01/14/windows-10-screen-recorder-ultility/ I can then shar...

Hi Mr Pesala

Is it possible to do this via Zoom?

I can then share my screen so you can see what is happening.

You don't have to show your video, just my video if that works for you.

We can arrange it through private messaging if that is possible.

I copy and paste using Inkscape and the Glyph is very small on Font Creator. I have to enlarge it each time.

The colour issue is still present despite the instructions.

I would greatly appreciate any advice

Dear Mr Pesala

I am following the link which you kindly provided.Where in Font Creator do I copy the glyphs?

Kind Regards
