Problem resolved! I am not attached to "Roman." This may be an old (30 years old) Bitstream setting? Many thanks.

Since I am just an amateur who adds glyphs to fonts for scholarly needs, I surely am just missing something about the naming conventions. In any case, I have attached the original FontCreator files and the new versions of the roman font file and the generated font. I realized that I was not quite pr...

The Font Properties panel has changes a lot between 14 and 15. I could easily define a font as part of a family in 14, but when I opened the roman font to add an okina and then exported the font without changing the font properties, it ceased to be the roman member of my family but a separate family...

Oops. FontCreator 8.0 was when the problem started, and I'll reinstall 7.5. (Off a digit, working from fallible memory)

The fonts aren't very big (the biggest is just 86k). In order to handle ligatures, I converted them from TrueType to OpenType, but they print fine on a variety of printers and used to print on the Xerox Work Centre 5775. The problem started with the upgrade to 7.0, but that may have been mere coinci...

Has anyone else reported High Logic fonts crashing a Xerox network controller for its printer/copiers? This started for me with fonts regenerated with Version 8.

Let me submit a more clearly labeled version of the test file. It is best to view the changes in hinting at 100% rather than higher. At the higher zoom level, the effect on the extenders (by which I mean the ascenders and descenders) disappears.

It is happening with all characters. I attach a PDF to show the behavior. (I hope your rendering engine behaves the same as mine.) If one zooms in on the text, it looks just fine, of course, but for normal viewing, the smaller letters, as you say, clearly round up.

When I created a OpenType font from a TTF to allow me to use the OpenType ligature feature, the hinting in the TTF version, when used in the OTF font, stretches the x-height in the small point sizes (<18). Am I just out of luck with this, or are there controls?
