From the OP, that is how it used to work, but in my test Cankama OpenType was exported as Cankama Regular.ttf. Old fonts like Bitstream Aldine BT that have no OT features are also exported with a TTF extension.

The file extension serves as a convenient way to distinguish between fonts with OpenType features, and older fonts that lack them.

It would be better if MainType could use the appropriate extension depending on the presence or absence of OpenType features.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but there is no easy way. I have no experience of creating Devanagari fonts, but looking at the code in the code editor reveals how much work was involved in developing it. Noto Sans contains almost thirty thousand lines of code. You could easily change the ANSI ...

I can only suggest making a backup of your data using FMSconfig, then uninstall and reinstall MainType.

Checkout the review in my signature to see if it is worth upgrading.

Perhaps it is necessary to restart due to the version change. Do make a new backup from ver 10 because the format has changed to include notes.

Do a full backup of your font database too.

I just tested by exporting my Tags, Ratings, and Notes, then I cleared the tags and ratings on a whole group, and imported my backup.

Everything was restored as expected.

Which version are you using?

All seems to be working fine here. Which version of MainType are you using?

As soon as I have a creative moment I'll see if I can pop up a nice eye

I am watching.

Is there a reason why your need to exceed the WinAscent? If you just do Settings, Metrics, Calculate that will ensure that no glyphs are clipped. There is already some white space in the Preview Toolbar above WinAscent. Recalculating WinAscent, in effect, moves the baseline down. A button to insert ...

Did you make a backup?

Import and Export Font Data

Shortcut Ctrl+J = Decimal code-points Shortcut Ctrl+K = Hexadecimal code-points Is that what you want? Unless the grid square are very large there is not enough space to show them both. One can choose between: Automatic, Glyph Name, Index, Code-point, or Unicode Name for the glyph overview captions.

Right. I had to switch the small and large rectangles from grey to dark blue. Having modified the Regular type style, Copy/Paste Special with colour data made it easy to fix the other styles and other fonts.

The images in your screenshot will already import in order. Just drag from explorer and drop them into the A glyph.

The new Sort Glyphs from File feature in FontCreator 13 offers a way to sort a font before importing glyphs if they are not currently names in the correct way.
