 Hi! There was noticed another bug in compilation of web version of fonts. This was not observed in previous versions.  Apparently the problem is related to scaling of elements of composite glyphs.  Here is how the glyphs look like in the working window: SS0.PNG  This is how the glyphs look when vie...

 Hi Erwin! Your link contains the general versions of FontCreator (13, 12, 11...). However, the problem appeared in one of the 14th versions. I found version 14.2794. I exported that my font project. The problem is gone. sshot-3.png  Thus, this bug appeared in one of the subsequent versions up to th...

It is most likely an issue with the shaping engine in your application. Can you try to isolate the issue by downsizing the font and export it in both current and former version of FontCreator?  I would be happy to do this, only by imprudence I removed the previous versions of FontCreator. Where wou...

Recently I found out that the font created by FontCreator of the latest versions is not displayed correctly in some programs. sshot-2.png Long tormented in search of problem of font itself. Nothing came out. However, after replacement of the font on created in FontCreator earlier versions, all began...

Hei! Why do You consider SVG a dead end?

 Сan't figure out what the bug is and how to get around it? Why doesn't FontCreator 14 save color glyphs to the the project file? Unfortunately, the poor manual is silent about this. Here's the project file. TMP.fcp After reopen the file, the changes are not saved. Is it the FontCreator crooked, or ...

You'dd find it here: https://www.high-logic.com/fontcreator/ ... tsub=chain

What the strange rule for replacing a ligature! Where did it come from? I definitely didn't create it! How do I remove it?

 Hurrah! Found a solution! Blessed is He, Who gives wisdom to man!  To ensure that composite glyphs with scalable components do not violate the order of characters in a string,   SS-1.PNG and displayed correctly in any program (without a decompose operation during compilation to reduce the size of t...

 Thanks for the advice. Only my file size has grown from 500 kilobytes to 700. And that's far from the end. The problem with file size is that a number of programs do not want to work with font files that are larger than 1 megabytes.  In addition, as the font file size increases, word processors beg...

 Oh, yeah. Only in this case, the size of the font file begins to grow by leaps and bounds. After enabling this option, the program decomposes all composite glyphs. And the main meaning of composite glyphs is lost. :(  This turns out that if the size of the font file is important, you need to manual...

 Hurrah! Remembered! This is the matrix of rotation of the vector on the plane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix
   
 Now the triangle can be easily rotated without distortion. For example, an equilateral triangle rotates 60°.
 

 Thanks for the tip! In version 14, this option has been moved to the font export settings window.

 Thank you, Bhikkhu Pesala, for Your work and illustration. I noticed this pattern. However, the essence of the question was to establish such a mathematical regularity in which a given figure retained not only its shape, but also its original dimensions. So in my drawing, the rectangle turned 30°. ...

 Hello! I may ask why composite symbols formed by negative factor scaling (see red ellipse) are displayed correctly in the viewport (see blue ellipse), but in many other programs they are incorrect. SS-1.PNG  So, for example, even in the FontCreator itself in the text field "Note" the wind...
