Re: FontCreator 14 Pro. Export font as...

For fonts with only a regular style I do not want the file name to include "-regular". Like Christy in a previous comment I thought unckecking "Include on export" might remove the style from the file name, but this setting appears to do nothing. It would be really nice if there w...

Re: Editing glyphs is extremely slow with a very large font

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for the prompt response. This build is much better, with the delay reduced to about 1.5 seconds. It's not perfect, but I can probably live with it.

Editing glyphs is extremely slow with a very large font

With my very large BabelStone Han font (64,000 glyphs), editing glyphs in FontCreator 15 is extremely slow compared with FontCreator 13. If I select a point or a component and hit an arrow key to move it or the delete key to remove it, then it takes about 4 seconds before anything happens (undo/redo...

Override ranges by itself no longer selects the glyphs

One frequent use case I have is to tag sets of discontiguous glyphs. In FontCreator 13 I did this by using the Transform Wizard to override ranges by glyph names or code points (the only operation in the script). After I hit OK, the required set of glyphs are selected in the editor and I can then ta...

Large font loses glyph names on export

I have a large CJK font project with 63,153 glyphs. When I export the font as a ttf file, and then open the ttf file in FontCreator, only the first 32,716 glyphs still have their original glyph names, and the glyph names for glyphs #32716 through #63152 are unexpectedly blank. This happens if I sele...

Re: Batch tagging of glyphs

Please see the Tip of the Day on Tagging Multiple Glyphs Thank you! That works perfectly. I did look at the Glyph Transformer to see if it could be done there, but I did not understand what "Override Range by Glyph Name(s)" and "Override Range by Code-point(s)" do, and there is ...

Batch tagging of glyphs

Tags are a very useful feature for me, but sometimes in a large font with thousands of glyphs I want to tag dozens or hundreds of non-contiguous glyphs, and it is very time-consuming to manually find, click and tag all the required glyphs. It would be really useful if I could right-click on one of t...

Re: Add paste feature to Glyph Transformer

Erwin Denissen wrote: Sat Feb 01, 2020 2:02 pm We could add a transform feature that adds all contours from one glyph to all selected glyphs. This obviously will only work for simple glyphs.
That would be the perfect solution for me.

Re: Add paste feature to Glyph Transformer

Right now it is not possible, but you can add glyphs with formulas, even within the glyph transformer: agrave=a+gravecomb adotbelow=a+dotbelowcomb Would that be of use? I could not get that to work in the glyph transformer. Can you give more detailed instructions? For what I think the original post...

Add paste feature to Glyph Transformer

Quite often I want to paste the same contour into multiple glyphs, and when (like this morning) I need to paste the same contour into several thousand glyphs it is not practical to do it manually. Is there already a way to do this? If not, please could you add a feature to the Glyph Transformer wiza...

Re: BASE Table

It is high on the to-do list, so it is likely it will be included soon. Hi Erwin, Just checking when you expect the base table to be supported in FontCreator. I have had another request for my Tibetan font to include baseline metrics, as at present Tibetan text set in my font has to be manually adj...

[CLOSED] Build 11.5.0.2430 takes much longer to export a large font to TTF than previously

Hi Erwin, I've noticed that since updating to Build 11.5.0.2430, it takes considerably longer to export a very large font than previously. My large CJK font with over 50,000 glyphs used to take about 3-4 minutes to export to TTF, but with the new build it now takes 10-11 minutes. Is there any explan...

BASE Table

Hi,

Would it be possible to support the Baseline table (BASE)? I have a Tibetan font where it would be useful to specify the baseline as "hang", as recommended by Microsoft.
