With regard to:
Bold preserve bearings, why can't I see this to trial?

What are my options of purchasing a professional version of one of the earlier versions such as 6.0?
I do not want to save as .fcp.

I have downloaded the trial version.
I do not see "bold preserve bearings" in your post Tue Jul 11, 2017 3:14 pm.
Also why can't I save the font in its native format. Instead I get the "fcp" option only.

This will be difficult for curved portions and diagonals.
OK thanks anyway.

I'm getting a bit confused with some of the terminology ... such as "open type features", "subscripts in Word". If I can rephrase my intention: Leave out any mention of subscripts or superscripts, forget about the number of font files I have ... then what I want to do is scale do...

See attachment. "A" is a regular font, "b" is the superscript. The first instance is what I need, a regular glyph and a new created glyph reduced in size to look like a superscript. The second instance is what would happen if I made it a subscript in Word or Excel, the line above...

I cannot use just one font because: For each subscript and superscript glyph, I have other parts such as a line which need to stay the same size and have the same coordinates as a regular glyph. Could you please elaborate on the "other methods" in your post. As I don't use this program ver...

I have a set of 3 font files called Normal, Subscript and Superscript. I don't have the option of using 1 font and then setting as subscript or superscript within applications such as Word or Excel. The latter 2 have been scaled down from Normal but they look too thin. Is there a way to make subscri...

Thanks for the quick replies.

This worked for me.
Go to menu ... Format/Mappings. Choose platform "Windows Unicode UCS-4" if it is available. Click the button "Include Windows Unicode BMP (UCS-2)".

I have stated I'm using version 6.
I cannot find any previous posts with this issue.

Please stop asking me to upgrade your software, for each question that I have posted you keep telling me to do this, whether for commercial or technical reasons, it's not good practice. If it's a technical issue then one would expect a patch without having to pay extra. I purchased version 6 a few y...

I've created some private use glyphs but they won't show up in Excel. They're mapped to "Windows Unicode BMP (UCS-2)" and "Unicode 2.0 and onwards BMP". They show up in the Character Map and Word. But they don't show up in Excel, which is where I need them. I've created private g...

I have 200 glyphs.
I'm not looking for improvements.
Just wanting to know if a setting has to be changed.

It's an otf file.
Please understand that not everyone has the option to upgrade your software.
