FontCreator doesn't support bitmap fonts — only Truetype or OpenType vector fonts.

You could run the font validation wizard if you have the Pro version to get rid of some of the intersecting co-ordinates and off-curve extremes. These are rather hard to spot at normal zoom levels. The accent on Ô grave is one of them. I forget where this one was. Intersecting co-ordinates.png The H...

You will see some clipping in Martha.ttf if you look at the font test window. The lowercase å ring has the accent way too high, and there are a few other problems with the position of accents on other composites like Ź acute, Ã tilde, and í acute.

AFAIK you're elligible for a free upgrade, but you might need a new registration key. Either send an email to Erwin or wait for his response.

The first problem you have is that Humanist 521BT is a commercial, copyright font, so you would have to ask Bitstream Corporation for permission to edit their font. I doubt if they would give it. Bitstream Humanist 421 Regular.png So, look for a GNU license font with similar appearance, that you can...

Changing Straight Lines to Curves In the latest version of FontCreator one can simply drag the centre of the line, but one will still have to fix off-curve extremes, so this method is still useful to know. First add a node between the start and end of the line with the shortcut "a" Conver...
