Erwin, I made a smartfont using your program. I beleive it is world's first orthographic font. It has over 400 ligatures making a complex script. It can be viewed inside Firefox 3.0. See www.LovataSinhala.com and then this page: http://www.lovatasinhala.com/dualscript.htm. Thank you for your great p...

You can test ligatures of your font in Windows if you "install files for complex scripts..." in the Languages settings in the Control Panel. After that you'll see ligatures inside Notepad, but still NOT in Word 2007. (That fix is for Windows XP. Vista's Notepad shows ligatures out-of-the-b...

What do these names stand for?: TSID, TSIP, TSIS and TSIV VOLT does not have a facility to add characters, not one I could find. It does not have any help anywhere.

Thak you.

I have many ligatures and they all test well. (Latin, Latin-1 code blocks)

The problem is that the ligatures work only in Notepad on Windows XP SP2 version! Not MS Word, Not Macintosh.

Any knowledge on this?

Thanks.

1. Pick up the Captions of the Unicode points created inside VOLT. 2. Copy the left and right margins too when copying one entire glyph to a second blank position. 3. Have an indicator that shows the next open code point available in the Private Space. I had to calculate it every time I needed to ad...

The problem with Microsoft not letting in people seems to be a side effect of Outsourcing. I applied for MicrosoftVOLTuserscommunity and did not get a reply for past a week, though it said within 48 hours. The login says I have already applied and is being considered! I think that this is a work eth...
