How do you access stylistic sets in word notepad or coreldraw? Notepad and Wordpad have no way to activate OpenType features, but the ones used to display complex scripts such as Arabic or Devanagari are enabled by default. In Word you can access them through the Font dialog, on the Advanced tab. S...

FontCreator 13 has been released and there is a tutorial that helps you make your own color fonts.

Create OpenType Color Fonts

Enjoy!

I've just successfully exported 23 fonts, so please provide steps that allow us to reproduce the problem.

Oops, was focused on FontCreator...

I will do some tests, but so far we haven’t heard of this issue.

You can extract fonts from an OpenType collection, and then open such font to export it with TrueType based outlines.

I really don't remember all features in that old version, and when we fixed or improved export related options. The current version comes with many bug fixes and improvements, so it might be best to upgrade.

Thank you for letting us know. That is a relief, as I honestly had no clue why that could still happen

Enjoy the software!

Also note that we've made many improvements related to anchors within FontCreator 13.

You can see it in the About box.

We've just released FontCreator 12.0.0.2567 which solves the problem. This release is for all customers who are not ready to upgrade to FontCreator 13 yet. You can get it through the Check for Updates feature.

Thank you for further clarifying your ideas. We are currently busy with FontCreator 13, which has been released this week. And we are also waiting to see comments from other MainType users, so please be patient. I'm mainly interested in 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

I don't get any error with check for updates in FontCreator 12 build 2566. It tells me that FontCreator 13 is available. Try closing your font project first.

We fixed that issue by sending other update information from our website.

Is there any way I can look up the source of the problem anchors using the address/access violation and just fix it on my end? I've been working on this font for a while and didn't come up with any issues with the preview testing feature until I reworked the OTFs and added a few more anchors and ju...

Alas, I have not kept up to date with OpenType developments. I asked about colour font support for the Serif Affinity Publisher program, and a recent post seems to suggest that SVG rather than the CPAL and COLR format is the thing now. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/78185-will-af...

We've just released FontCreator 13, coming with support for both scalable color font extensions. So now you can create OpenType color fonts with either COLR, SVG (or both).
