I am using FontCreator 8 and I am making a colour font. I am getting into a bit of a muddle when trying to add a colour to the palette. I click the + button and sometimes it adds another colour box to palette 1 and sometimes it adds another palette. I click the + button when it appears that I have s...

I have got the web page working.

I have a few minutes ago updated the Mariposa font that is available to have the Embedding Licensing Rights as Installable.

I am using FontCreator 8.

I tried closing the program and restarting but that did not solve the problem. I tried the Help facility...
