These contours should be joined with Get Union of Contours before applying any bold transformation. I see that, but I want to keep the contours separate (because I still work on the font). To my eyes, the contours should remain their direction (clockwise or counter clockwise) when a thin/bold funct...

Problem: Sometimes when I make a glyph that has overlapping contours and I try to make them bolder, it changes the direction of some contours , therefore, making some contours lighter, and the others bolder. Suggested solution: prevent changing the direction of the contours when performing a bold/t...

Thanks!
The dragging option when kerning works.

I understand. Can we fix that by applying the localstorage function I wrote? It works fine. You can test it It doesn't seem to work with good old Internet Explorer. For now you can use the manual fix I suggested. I see. Well, I'll live with ltr as the default, because I prefer to always be up-to-da...

Here is the update. It has minor improvements to the shaping engine, the proofing tool, and kerning. FontCreatorSetup version 13.0.0.2625 (x64) Let us know your results, so we can officially release it. What's the shaping engine? I saw the new fun changes in the kerning, here's my result: (the inpu...

Looking forward to it!

Wow that's a wonderful simplify! I love it.
I'm not sure if the right-to-left was turned on in your screenshot,
but as a reference, this is the current way:
(this kerns these two letters: ז־)

I understand.

I understand
Thank you for the detailed message!

I thought it would work on your side, as it is determined by a local setting on your system. Not sure which one, but it apparently failed. Oh, cool thought. I use Windows 10 with english though (its just my perference), that's probably why it didn't work as you expected. You might need to force it:...

Hey Erwin,
I found another problem that need to be fixed regarding to this topic.
When scrolling up/down to increase/decrease the values of XAdvance or XPlacement (while Right To Left is on), the values should match at all times.



Thanks

Problem solved when I changed my font resolution from 1000 to 4096 A new question: Is there a way to change a font resolution (1000 -> 4096) without the need to re-modify the anchor points and redo the mark positioning, kerning, everything? EDIT: I found a partial solution here for resizing: https:...

Right! I wasn't aware of the Validation window (not the validation wizard). Cool, so I learned something new. So now I found a different problem. I fixed the wrong contours and as you can see, there are "no problems detected" in the validation tool: (although it says in the title "gly...

I have a font with some glyphs that looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/pZBk2PN.png And when I try to export it, it works on webfont, but as for the desktop: the glyph looks empty. I tried the Font Validation Wizard and found the intersecting coordinates (961.9, 2299.1), but my glyph have like bill...

By the way, the Hebrew glyphs are shown fine no more utf-8 problems.
Its showing the Hebrew alphabet as the default text, which is very nice.
Is that going to be editable in the future? (the options file)
