I see. You removed the first couple of glyphs, and especially the first (.notdef) is extremely important. I urge you to put it back (just insetrt a glyph at the top and provide a meaningful outline) and see if that solves the problem.

I don't think Word 2013 supports color fonts. The color font technology is adopted very slowly.

I don't have time to investigate the font, but I suspect this is happening: Word auto-magically replaces plain quote characters with smart quotes, which are not included in your font. And while Word tries to be smart, it then decides to use a fallback font :? You can add "left and right single ...

Recent versions of FontCreator contain important bug fixes. The issues you describe are solved as well. So we strongly recommend to upgrade to the latest version.

It boggles me that any company would adhere to legacy file naming in 2015 for reading fonts (much less anything else).

If I'm correct they are talking about the font name, not the file name.

And yes, it is good news that the problem is now solved!

As I said in the first post, I used that link already. It sent me the code to my email, I copied and pasted the code into the box and then got the message already mentioned. Better also use the download link for the corresponding version that we also provide in that email. I believe I bought versio...

I understand the need, but it would help if we know if more people want such feature. Maybe others want to export codepoints, left or right side bearings, etc. We could provide some Glyph Export feature through the Tools menu. I guess that once we provide it, more people will also be interested in s...

Just Made my 2nd Version on a Classic Roman Monument Sandblast font used at 2 1/2" plus sizes, attached is the file for your review would like any suggestion to improve or speed up the process, still spending a lot of time having to manual kern letter pairs even after using auto kern in FrontC...

I'm glad the problem is solved. Enjoy the software (and your fonts).

As mentioned here the problem was solved by an uninstall and reinstall of MainType.

To start FmsProxy, go to the Windows Start menu -> All Programs -> High-Logic MainType -> High-Logic FmsConfig

Somehow the FmsProxy failed to run. Fortunately we were able to solve the issues pretty easy. In case you encounter the same problem with FmsProxy, do uninstall MainType (when asked, don't delete the database), and then reinstall. The other problem was kind of funny, as somehow the preview text in t...

When you have MainType 5 running on your system, and then install version 6, it should automatically upgrade your existing font data. Obviously this didn't work on your system, so I wonder why. Did you uninstall version 5 before installing version 6? The database and other data are located at C:\Pro...

There are several reasons why it didn't make it into recent versions of MainType.

- Many fonts contain invalid or incomplete PANOSE information
- Sorting seems smart, but it is actually not helpful in most cases
- It would take additional development time and would also slow things down

That looks just fine.

Can you show a screenshot of MainType? That might reveal more.

In general the font file extension is irrelevant, but some older software might depend on it, so manually try to rename the extension to .ttf and see if that helps.
