I found a notification of your reply in my gmail inbox.

The kerning works fine in PagePlus and OpenOffice. There isomething wrong with your installation of the font. Perhaps you installed the unkerned version first, then tried to install the kerned version.

Try uninstalling the font, reinstalling it, then, if necessary, reboot.

You can attach your font here for me to test.

Still the same answer. FontCreator is a program for designing fonts, not for designing keyboards. You can design every glyph that you need — using composites if you want to save design effort and reduce file size — but typing with the font is a matter of learning how to use MS Keyboard Layout Creato...

MS Paint doesn't support kerning as far as I know. Word does, but it is not on by default. See this thread

Why not just shift + ` + b ? That is possible, but its nothing to do with FontCreator. It is just down to how you design your keyboard either using Word's shortcuts or system-wide using the Microsoft Keyboard layout creator, Autohotkey, etc.

I enabled my notify option to test this feature. Make sure the email address that you provided is not block replies as spam.

The link at Fontorg.US is working.

You can print your font from FontCreator as a grid with a caption and each symbol. Right-click to change the caption option to Postscript name or Symbol characters.

It is looking better now. Good enough to be usable. How much time you want to spend on improving it is up to you. See How Long Does it Take to Make a Font? There are several things you could do. You can do these as a way to learn new techniques: There are still some validation errors. Go to Tools, O...

There are plenty of free utilities that will delete duplicates based on simple parameters such as filename or filesize. Try using one of those first, and then see what duplicates are left based on Font name.

Yes. Ease of use is a major factor in favour of FontCreator over other programs. Run the Validator from the Font menu to fix some problems. A couple of glyphs have some stray contours in them. The validator will show you which glyphs have errors that could not be fixed automatically. All of the glyp...

Just click on the Include subfolders icon (the last one on the browse pane) to list all of the fonts, and the duplicates will be next to each other in the alphabetical font list.
