That is much better. The speed of your responses is as impressive as ever.

The UI also looks much sharper.

• Fixed gaps in Views panel
• Improved high DPI support
• New light and dark themes
• Numerous enhancements and improvements

I can confirm that the application window disappears briefly after startup.

Not a big issue, but slightly distracting.

That fixes the issue for me.

I see the opposite bug. On resizing the Views Panel, the spacing becomes much tighter, but there is obviously a bug here.

It is up to you, the Font Designer, to fix a few issues like intersecting contours manually. There will usually be edge-cases that need manual adjustment after the automated glyph transformations have done what they can. With experience, one knows where to look, and FontCreator’s built in validation...

Ligatures are not what you need. What you are doing is creating a cursive font , for which you need to use Contextual Alternates .

No. That would be wrong.

If the glyphs are not numbered, then they are unmapped, but they can still be used by composite glyphs.

Select only the simple glyphs before running the transformation. It is being run on the composites for a second time. Edit: I could not reproduce the issue on the latest version of FontCreator 15. The Composites are initially skewed twice using the Italic Transform, but is then automatically correct...

Yes. This looks like a bug.

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