Hey Erwin, Hope all is well with you. I'm not using windows 10 as 9.1 version of FontCreator doesn't support CFF outlines, I'm still using windows 8.1. But for those who have FontCreator 9.1 and wish to use CFF outlines, I've sussed out the problem to a security update by Microsoft. If you know how,...

When I try to install a CFF format font from FontCreator 9.1 I get the error message attached. When I export the file using CFF Windows says it is not a valid font.
Thanks for your support

Erwin and friends, I've nearly finished my contextual cursive font and I wanted to thank you all for your support. I don't know how to thank you for your individual attention and interest in my project. So to thank you all enjoy the pic. If you're interested in my code I'd be happy to share it with ...

Bhikku! I captured the rainbow! And there is gold aplenty. My goal of increasing the weight of the font without doing much work has realized itself. Instead of making a separate font, I saved my original font under a different name then used the glyph transformer AFTER everything was neatly kerned. ...

Bhikkhu, Thanks for the quick response and the information, yes I was aware of exporting and yes that's what I was in essence doing...and even though I'm chasing rainbows, it's good to know it for sure and puts my mind at ease. Ease in the fact that I'm not missing something. So thank you for the pe...

Erwin and company, I have a font with two versions. They're exactly the same except the glyphs on one of them is bolder (using the glyph transformer). It is very time consuming to manually kern this cursive font (can't autokern) and up until this point I have been simply copying and pasting the kern...

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm not at that level, I just found that a diacritic letter will not connect to it's surrounding letters in cursive...and wondered why. That's all. Wondered if there was some way. I'm guessing not.

Thanks,

Erwin and friends, Was fooling around with tildes and wondered if it were possible to use them over letters in a contextual cursive font. I found the code, completed the letter, entered the alt+code, and the diacritic shows but does not allow for attachment to letters around it as far as I experimen...

When trying to kern forward slash, it disappears when you enter anything after it in Open Type Designer and Preview. When the font is exported and installed it works but it doesn't work inside FC. It does work in the "test TTF OTF. Not a major bug, but a curious one. Has anyone else come across...

This message came up as I tried to install my font using TTF and autohinting...it's not that big of a deal for me but it may be for others so I'll just report it for posterity's sake.
All the best

I noticed that an instance of my font is in one of your responses. Could you delete it if you please as i have plans for it.
Thanks and many blessings,

Jonne

I usually export CFF but True Type font has that feature of autohinting. All I know about that is that it does something to small font sizes, but my question is what? Should I be exporting to True Type instead because of this feature?

Thanks,

Jonne

I just checked it and it works on my end.

Winamp's latest is 5.666. Are you using that?

If you want to teamview, I'm open to that
