Hello EzJay, Now when I create a new font using Font Creator it wants me to upload a different picture for every single character. This means I have to copy every character out of the bmp, create a new .bmp for it, then import it into the Font Creator Program. That seems like a lot of unescesary wor...

FCP 4.5 has some excellent new features available and one which would be desirable would be an extension to the drag and drop images facility from an Explorer type Window into FCP Overview Window. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-11/69859/MultDragnDrop.jpg The ability to drag and drop a batch of ...

Yes.

Make sure the Grid toolbar is showing:

View -> Toolbars -> Grid

The button with two squares (one black), separated by an oblique line, toggles contour fill and outline.

When you applied the new spacing for your font did you forget to apply it to the whole font and not to just one selected glyph. I can get your font to work perfectly. After applying the Glyph transformer to set new width then apply it to centre the glyphs.

I am still puzzled by this. Could you possibly explain the reason for this movement happening please and the implications of turning it off? This option can be turned off without ill effect but apparently it is good practice to have the left-bearing extent-line set to x=0 for all glyphs in a font. ...

Correction to my previous post: The URL should have been: http://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?t=533&highlight=ascent Sorry, I did not mean to give the same URL as the one Bhikkhu Pesala gave. I meant merely to add to the information and a more detailed explanation by Erwin Denissen was in ...

Hello jcantic,

It would be helpful to know which font you are talking about and which version of FCP you are using. Is the font in question one which you have fashioned, an installed one from MS, or one you have obtained elsewhere?

Hello Chris, You need to adjust top and bottom bearing-extent-lines (black, solid, horizontal lines). Go to: Format -> Settings -> Windows tab and experiment by adjusting Win Ascent and Win Descent values; but see Erwin Denissen's full discussion on the subject at: http://forum.high-logic.com/viewto...

Hello Jim, A possible solution is that you have made a font which is not complete with all the alphabetic characters. Word requires the characters of the name, to be present as glyphs in the font. For example if the font name is MyfontBI the glyphs 'M' 'y' 'f' 'o' 'n' 't' 'B' and 'I' all have to be ...

Hello Mike, I had the very same problem and it was solved with help from Bhikkhu Pesala and Erwin Denissen. See this this thread: http://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?t=376&highlight=bold The problem was that the naming fields have to be exactly the same in the places pointed out by Erwin. ...

I've just had a look at: http://www.high-logic.com/fcphistory.html to refresh my memory. I'm astounded at what improvements have been made since I upgraded from FCP3. When I consider what I obtained, and the work entailed in making those improvements, I am beginning to feel guilty that I paid only $...

Dave Crosby gave me the following URL for the SIL organisation. It is an encyclopedic collection of font-related information. It is an absorbing site with much relevant information on the subject of Unicode. http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=fonttoollinks From this...

Hello Nives, This is a very frequent question which is answered in: http://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?t=562 If you had used the Search facility at the top of the Forum opening Window and entered the word 'import' you could well have found that and other posts on the subject. The import facil...
