A year ago we released FontCreator 7.0, which introduced several great new features and enhancements, like optical metrics, and script based support for OpenType Layout Features. In August 2013 we added color support to FontCreator version 7.5. All of these improvements proved to be a huge success. ...

Confirmed; this doesn't work with that version

I notice that, for me, this button doesn't seem to do anything. From the manual, I would expect it to create a bitmap based on the current glyph and display it as a background image (which, by the way, would be incredibly useful), but it doesn't. "Show background image" gets checked, and ...

One thing that is very high on out to-do list is font tagging, which allows you to specify one or more tags to a font. Tags can be anything e.g. Cars, Cartoon, Serif, Free, Funny.

Quite a few OpenType fonts nowadays contain various alternative glyphs for characters, for example, alternative forms of 'a' and 'g', contained in stylistic sets.

Just upgrade to the latest version and it wil take care of it automatically.

This is how Arial Regular (font size 12) shows in Word:
First line is the original, but both lines looks exactly the same to me.

First of all; I'm not sure if you are allowed to make modifications to that font. So please read the license agreement (within the font), or even better contact the font vendor. Maybe there is an issue with hinting or with the OpenType layout features. Can you provide more information, so we can bet...

I have a number of fonts I've collected over the years usually in separate packages that are not set up in proper families. I've been going through several of the fonts and editing just the properties of the font so they'll group properly as a font family in windows 7. When I do so though they alwa...

Using an application that is so outdated is asking for trouble... Modern software and fonts work with Unicode codepoints. You will need to know the codepage which is used by that software in order to understand what characters can be used. Even then it will be a lot of struggle to make things work. ...
