I'm sorry, I can't understand the article you sent. I would like to ask you how to generate XML files into TTF files in FONTCTEATOR? Which button do I need to click in the FONTCTEATOR interface? Please help me. Thank you very much.

That is not possible.

Disable the "Include vertical spacing..." check box, as that is not relevant for your font.

Click the Calculate button within the Spacing area. If that doesn't solve the issue, you might need to downsize your glyph outlines, or increase the upem.

Since you mention the line height was fine at first, I suspect one or more other characters have outlines that are positioned way below the expected em box. That could trigger FontCreator to adjust the vertical line spacing. You can identify the most extreme one through the Font Information dialog. ...

You should read the Complete Composites document written by Bhikkhu Pesala. It is attached in this forum topic:
Complete Composites in FontCreator 12

Yes, that can be done quite easily.

Select the specific main folder. Ensure you've enabled "recursion", as that allows you to view fonts from a folder and all it's subfolders in a single view. Now click the Install icon through the groups toolbar.

A backup should only take a couple of minutes if done local, but can take longer if you store it in the cloud.

The screenshot reveals you are running version 8.

To start the font service, either do it through FmsConfig, or just reboot your computer.

Usually text has to fit an imaginary box in user interfaces.

You could adjust the vertical font line spacing, or make the outlines smaller, but both affect the appearance of your font.

It seems you know how to make it work, so let us know if you have suggestions to improve the manual.

Initially they will overlap each other.

You could increase the global “units per em”, so tou can store more details.

Contours consist of nodes that have to be rounded integers, so you will get such issues if the outline becomes too small.

The information in the user manual is not easy to find, but the number of anchor values used with Mark‑to‑Ligature lookups can be set through the Glyph Properties. See:

This tutorial gives some more insight into the metrics values and the layout version.

Copy to Windows fonts folder is not the recommended way to install fonts. You could right-click a font and then select Install or Install for all users.

In this case FontCreator incorrectly identifies outline issues, as the bearings are fine. So in this case you can safely ignore the warning.
