In FontCreator 11.5.2427, 64-bit: Entering the text SUPERSCRIPT FOUR into the "Find by Character (Name)" box and clicking "Find Next" fails to find the character $2074. If you click on character $2074, the "Selected Character" shows as "$2074 - SUPERSCRIPT FOUR&quo...

View creation option resource "Available"/"Not Available" broken [Solved]
When creating a new view, there is a option that allows a user to see if the font resource is "Available" or "Not Available". Since the "Font Information" panel has a "Resource" section that shows the files on disk that are associated with the MainType font re...

"Cut"/"Paste" context menu items are enabled/disabled incorrectly [Solved]
In MainType 8.0.0.1135, 64-bit: In the font list, the "Cut" menu item is only enabled when the list is displaying a group...searches, views, etc., leave the "Cut" menu item greyed out. I can understand that it could be difficult to "cut" because a font might be in multi...

Sync groups don't display empty directories [Closed]
In MainType 8.0.0.1135, 64-bit: If there is an empty directory (i.e., one that doesn't contain any font files) below the root of a sync group, it does not display. This means that you cannot copy or move fonts to new directories within the MainType UI. You also can't copy or move to a directory that...

Re: Side bearings - design standards
Just to be sure - isn't that the result that we obtain by checking the "Set left side bearing at x=0" box, as I did on the attached screenshot? Yes. After playing around a bit, I found that the newest version of FontCreator won't let you unset "Set left side bearing at x=0", so ...

Re: Typekit & Google?
To integrate with Typekit officially, you have to jump through some Adobe hoops that usually aren't easy and often have bugs. You can unofficially integrate with Typekit by adding the following sync folder to MainType (%APPDATA% is the AppData folder for your user): %APPDATA%\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync\...

Re: Database cleanup tool?
Since I have only about 5,000 fonts in my library, OK, so you have a very small font library...DaFont.com lists 3,800 fonts beginning with the letter 'S', and those are actually font families . A 5,000 font library is nothing, even staying strictly within the law, and without having to pay a dime. ...

Database cleanup tool?
With the current version of MainType, if a user moves/deletes a font file that is in a "sync" folder, when the folder refreshes, the font is no longer displayed in MainType. This behavior makes sense, and is intuitive. If the user moved the file to a different "sync" folder (or e...

Re: Side bearings - design standards
that the left side bearings are generally set to zero Along with the other good advice, note that most fonts still set the left side bearing point at x=0, and then set the left side bearing value at a number that is appropriate. In the example of your letter 'T', this might mean that the LSB and RS...

Re: Using knife tool converts all contours to quadratic
It looks like almost any manipulation of contours that might change the number of contours (knife, union, intersection, exclusion) will cause any contours selected at the time of the operation to convert from cubic to quadratic, even if the contours are not changed by the operation. For example, dra...

Re: Join contours can cause unwanted contour changes
Attached is another example. Join the contours on the "B" (it's from an "overlay" font that makes the existing characters look like ink was spilled) and watch the fun. If you "Optimize" first, the very extreme coordinate doesn't appear, but that shouldn't be required. A...
