As you can see, the width of each sign needs to be different to get the right spacing.

It works fine for me. I made a composite glyph with five glyph members :S, E, N, D, and the custom signpost glyph. If you need different signs, you may need to create multiple signpost glyphs of different widths.

1. Insert Glyphs Not Working Trying to add a glyph to the system, selected "insert after selected glyph". Nothing. Tried it with both the icon and the Menu command. Nothing. I can't even really tell if the glyph is selected, or if it's deselecting it. If you have a character set selected,...

Yes. FontCreator 13 used a different control to display the preview toolbar.
Only Erwin can tell us if it is possible to make the current control behave in the expected way.

Not a bug. The font preview window does not support it.

Use the font test window or the webfont preview.

In the Home Edition, you have to adjust the side-bearings for each glyph manually. You probably don't need to adjust the size of the glyphs. On the Font Properties Panel, on the Masters Tab, click the Calculate buttons. Font size is adjusted in applications that use those fonts. The designer just ne...

Does the font’s PANOSE number provide the identification that you need?

Even though it is not recommended to scale components, it is now possible to do it right within the glyph editor. You can set the other settings through the Transform panel. In points mode, no nodes are displayed, until one double-clicks the contour to show it in its source window. There seems to b...

We will add "E" and "D" with the next upcoming release, but I don't see an obvious access key for Auto Attach. Use u for A u to Attach. In the Glyph Edit window, y is used by Used b y ...so use that in the glyph overview too. BTW. Used by... yields no results for the base glyph ...

Here is an updated mock-up for FontCreator 15.
Users could use the spin buttons or the slider to adjust the line-spacing.
Suggested range would be 90% to 300%

The context menu in the glyph overview has the same issue. D and E work in the Auto-attach submenu, but no access keys are shown. Access key A will open the Auto-attach submenu, but no access key is shown. In the glyph edit window, no access key seems to work to open the submenu. Auto Attach Submenu...
