Check out my free fonts such as Verajja or Odana, which all have a full set if hexagrams and symbols. You can see how the are designed and decide if the design works for your fonts.

If you're using the Professional Edition of FontCreator, or the Trial edition, its very easy. From the Tools menu, select Glyph Transformer Wizard … Effects, Italic, Set font subfamily and font design to italic, choose the angle, and the wizard will do the rest. Some glyphs like | are best designed ...

I found a copy to download from About.com

Latin small letter thorn is the cause of the spacing problem. Edit that glyph, or delete it, and recalculate metrics from Tools, Settings, Metrics, Maximum, Calculate, and the WinAscent will be reduced significantly.

Try Tools, Glyph Transformer, Outlines, Scale

Which version of FontCreator are you using? Home Edition, Professional Edition, Trial Edition? 5.6 or 6.1 or what?

I ran a test on a moderately complex glyph with 89 contours and 1271 points, comparing the performance in FontCreator 5.6 and FontCreator 6.1 build 216. In both cases, real-time validation was on, and in Tools, Options, Validation, Global detection was enabled. Double-clicking on the glyph in the ov...

The background image dialogue box fields should respond to a press of the enter key, but they do not.

However, they do respond to a click on the spin button so you don't need to change the x,y values to apply a new scale.

You can sort the font, and you can invert the selection from the edit menu after selecting the glyphs you want to keep (don't forget the .notdef glyphs and other essential glyphs at the start of the font).

Select them in the glyph overview window using Shift Click or Ctrl Click, and press delete.

I ran Ashampoo again, and that didn't cause the problem again. I then reinstalled from MainTypeSetup.exe (build 91) and checked for updates again. That didn't do it either, so I'm not sure what happened. Anyway, if it happens to anyone else, hopefully they will find this thread, and learn how to fix...

Not as terrible as it sounds, but it might alarm some users. From the Tools menu, Options, General, Groups, I had to browse to where my fonts are organised and change the default folder from: C:\Documents and Settings\Bhikkhu Pesala\My Documents\My Font Groups\ back to: C:\Documents and Settings\Bhi...

"DIGIT SEVEN" and "LATIN CAPITAL O" are the same in all Unicode fonts — they are the Unicode names for mapping purposes. The postscript names can be whatever you want but they should have no spaces e.g. "onequarter", not "one quarter." You can show the Postscr...

As I suspected, many of the glyphs in S60SC_C.ttf are composites, which will become simple glyphs when copied to another font.

You need permission to edit these fonts, which are the copyright property of Monotype Corporation.

Original file may contain many composite glyphs. If you copy them to another font they will become simple glyphs, so a lot of contours are duplicated. There is no easy way to recreate hundreds of Chinese glyphs as composites. Data for completing composites only exists for Latin glyphs and a few char...
