Re: Override ranges by itself no longer selects the glyphs

Yes. This looks like a bug.

As a workaround, you could move the selected glyphs by 0,0 funits.

Can you make the fields respond dynamically when resizing the contour?

Re: How can I see the gliphs on my Word?

Does it work in Webfont Test window when you enable the feature that changes UN to # ? Does it work in the Preview Panel? If so, you need to enable the OpenType feature in Word that you have defined to make that glyph substitution in the font. Word may not support the feature. Which feature have you...

Re: How can I see the gliphs on my Word?

Do the glyphs show up in the Font Test Window?

If they do, leave the Window open, switch to Word, and select the Test font in Word.

Re: I changed computer.

There is no Mac version. You will have to run it on a Windows emulator.

Re: Serif / Sans listed incorrectly

You can only sort by one column at a time.

You would need to create groups for Sans and Serif fonts, then sort each group by weight.

Re: Fonts from external application

Uninstall them using the Creative Cloud app, and reinstall them using MainType.

Re: Serif / Sans listed incorrectly

There is a weight column. You can sort your fonts by weight: Thin, Extra Light, Light, Semi-light, Normal, Medium, Semi-bold, Bold, Extra-bold, Black.

Re: Preview

From the Drop Down at the top of the view panel, select Font instead of Characters in Font.

You have not enabled the Terminal Forms (fina) feature. Both fina and hist need to be enabled.

Re: Historical and Discretionary Ligatures

You have the right idea. You just need to add an entry to Terminal Forms (fina) for longs > s; and the Historical Forms must precede Terminal forms in the OpenType script.

Re: I'm freaking out

The usual order is accent first followed by the base glyph to type a composite glyph with the accent.

àèìòù or ãõñ etc.

What happens when you type using the font in an application like Word depends on the Windows keyboard that you select in Settings.

Re: Kern all my fonts

Open the list of kerning pairs in the Code Editor, and copy the list of pairs.

Paste the list of pairs to replace the list of pairs in another font. Do a syntax check, and rerun Autokern on the pair adjustments lookup so that the kerning suits the different glyphs of the other font(s).
