In the Font Export Settings dialog box, on the TrueType/OpenType tab, if the " Glyph Names " is set to " Regenerate for release ", are the mappings in the FontCreator file glyphnames.dat used? Or is there some other approach / algorithm that is used on export? I'm thinking that g...

Both suggestions are very helpful and this is workable! I can imagine a display - a column in the main font View List - that shows a "Block Coverage" display, maybe color-coded by the % coverage of the block. With 280 blocks, that may be unwieldy ... maybe you get to select which blocks ar...

Is there a way in MainType (ver 8.0) to show all or filter fonts that have a given code-point mapped? Or maybe that have code-point in a given block??

Thanks Erwin! This is, of course, a pretty low-priority issue, but one that might cause heartburn here and there for a few folks.

It appears that a number of the Unicode 10.0.0 blocks have non-assigned characters which are not recognized as such by FCP. In particular (this is cut-pasted from ...

Thanks for the support, All! I think the real answer is that it's not the fonts, it's my (ill-)chosen App for trying to author a book - Microsoft Word. Yes, there were some issues in my font (thanks to Bhikkhu for taking the time to correct those!) But it is the *breathtakingly arbitrary* way that W...

Thanks Erwin ... glad to know it wasn't something silly, but sad to know it still unsolved. I have done a trial by setting the checkbox on "JIS/Japan (932)" and turning off Auto Update on export, but no joy. I'm guessing that is what you meant by "manually set specific code page chara...

Hello - I've been at this for days, and hoping more experienced eyes can easily diagnose. Using FontCreator 11.0 Professional. Added Hiragana & Katakana Unicode blocks to a font. However, Word and Corel refuse to use those code-points from my font, falling back to a default font for those charac...
