Font Forum

Probably your font uses an OpenType feature that is not supported by Word and PhotoShop, or that is not enabled by default. The WOFF test page will tell you which features need to be enabled for the apostrophe to work as designed.

Can you get it to work in LibreOffice?

What do you mean by "the new one will not accept a subscript modifier"?
They refer to the X/Y extents of the bounding box for the glyph.

Open the Validation Toolbar (F7) to fix the contour directions.

Not normally reproducible here, but this will happen if you change some glyph properties, then switch to another program, e.g. Calculator, without clicking on Apply. No a bug IMO, it is just how the dialogue works. What is more disconcerting is that the dialogue disappears from view when switching t...

Please give a step by step recipe with a screenshot of your Transform Wizard before you clicked on OK.

If bugs cannot be reproduced, they cannot be fixed.

Renaming the glyphs using your advice seemed to improve the situation. Now there are only a few glyphs that don't generate which I can live with. Thanks again.

Tell us which glyphs don't generate, then we can tell you which accents or base glyphs are missing or incorrectly named.

Go to Tools, Options, Advanced, and Open the User Data Folder. If the Transform scripts are not there, this might be an issue with write permissions for that folder. Copy the data files and try again.

The new version requires combining diacritical marks. If you're using an old font project with only modifier accents, add the combining diacritic equivalents, and try again. Where the new version uses glyph names, they must be correct. Use Tools, Glyph Names, Generate to ensure that your glyphs are ...

The settings that you change in the Transform Wizard are only saved if you actually apply them by clicking OK. I don't think anything has changed. This behaviour is the same in 11.5. What has changed, is that Transformations can now be undone, so you don't need to be so concerned that running the wi...

It was intentional removed because, as you discovered, it only duplicates what is on the Glyph Properties toolbar.

Are you using the Home Edition, or the Standard or Professional Edition?

Did you manage to align your glyphs vertically using the methods described?

To change the right side-bearing of Z, drag the bearing line to the left, or edit the value in the Glyph Properties dialogue and click on Apply. The Help File Says: Left side-bearing, right side-bearing, and advance width In the Glyph Edit window there are two vertical lines (normally the glyph outl...

The Glyph Transform is on the Tools menu. It is not available in the Home Edition. In the Home Edition you will have to move or position glyphs one by one in the Glyph Edit window using the Transform floating toolbar illustrated in the screenshot. As I said in my previous post: One can select severa...

Not all letters should be in the same vertical position. Those with flat bases, like L need to sit on the baseline, while those with rounded bases, like O or 0, need to overshoot the baseline. The same is true about the tops of some letters needing to overshoot the x-height or CapHeight. Then, of co...

Enable the Validation Toolbar, or run the Font Validator.

Some of your contours have an incorrect direction.
