Re: How do I make an enormous font Word will recognize?

No need to react like a seven year old kid who fails to tie his shoes.

We are always willing to help people, but we try a little harder if people stay nice.

Maybe others want to respond now, otherwise I'll try to help after the weekend.

The smallest valid font for Windows

Most people don't care about the size of their fonts, but sometimes there is need for a small font. FontCreator will try to keep the file size as low as possible, so to some extent it can be used for this purpose. To really, really, make a font with the smallest file size, it will become a font whic...

Re: Ligature script error

FontCreator did clearly show a warning that this would happen during the trial period.

If you own a license for version 5 of our font editor, then upgrade here:

Re: Ligature script error

Here goes nothing. That font is made with a trial version of our software. Please buy a license instead of wasting your time, our time, and that of a lot of other people helping here at the forum. Also the font is copyright © Cory Hurst Graphics, and I can't identify you as someone affiliated with ...

Re: Ligature script error

Do export the font file, and upload it here. I'm sure that reveals the problem.

Re: Ligature script error

In order for your sample script to work, you need glyhps with these names:
a
A
aa
AA

If you press F9 in the OpenType layout feature editor you will see warnings if something is not right.

Re: Ligature script error

Don't include the lookup definition in the feature but split them like this:

feature Ligatures liga {
# Standard Ligatures
lookup LigaSub;
}

lookup LigaSub {
sub a a -> AA;
sub A A -> AA;
etc...
}

Re: Font icon in Windows

I'll have to look into this some more to find all specifics, but there are a couple of things that result in showing the Greek preview. One of them is the Greek Unicode character range to be marked available. Arial Unicode MS Regular has the same icon, right?

I see. This font is made with the trial version of FontCreator, which produces fonts where only a subset of the characters will be included in the exported font. The problem is easily solved; just buy a license here: http://www.high-logic.com/shop/new-licenses.html I edited a Unicode tamil font but ...
