Version 3.95 improved the superscript glyphs. The bold transform after scaling tends to leave some strokes too thick, so some manual adjustment of nodes is usually needed. Version 3.96 fixed a bug in Verajja Regular where × was left as a composite of + when it should be made simple, edited, and rota...

Then Aa will produce only one picture. If both Uppercase and lowercase ...

...just the fact that High-Logic has this great Font Forum makes me want to give MainType Professional a try. Particularly since my current FM has removed its user forum! Download and try out the free version. It only supports 2,500 fonts, and has some other limitations , but you can have a good lo...

I found some more typos too. It was obviously past my bed time when I wrote that.

I added a brief article on MainType to Blog on Vivaldi.net too.

I thought I saw a problem earlier, but after validation and correcting the incorrect directions in the colo...

Version 3.92 fixed some bugs and added three Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs (two-coloured).

Or, indeed, add to background application. ŢţŞş

That works in some applications: Affinity Publisher, Notepad, Vivaldi, but not Serif PagePlus or WebPlus.

I cannot see what they are, but my new colour glyphs suffer from "Color Metrics Conflicts." This usually happens because of different advance widths, but all are the same = 1674 funits.
