Re: Interface design need checking

You are right, somehow the width of several parts of the layout has changed over time. We will have this one fixed with the next upcoming update. Let us know if you see other dialogs with similar issues.

Re: Font Management Issue: Font Preview Not Updating

MainType keeps a copy of the old version, but it should also index the new font version as soon as it is installed.

Re: Exclude a symbol or letter from bold

You need to talk to Microsoft if you want to request changes to Windows.

Re: Exclude a symbol or letter from bold

You need to provide a bold font as well. You can use the same glyph outlines for those specific characters that should not change in weight.

Re: Moved and repositioned glyphs

You can use Sort Glyphs from the Tools menu. The option to sort From File allows you to sort the glyphs by glyph names. You can use a plain text file; per line one glyph name. You can also provide a UFO lib.plist file. You can export the font as UFO to get the current lib.plist file. You can then mo...

Re: import image error

Use any version you want, as long as you own a legitimate license, but as far as I know you have been using our software for over 20 years and never paid for it.

The tiff files we have work just fine, so we can't reproduce the issue without your original file.

Re: The problem is that diacritical marks appear in the lookup(Output).

Ignore marks does not hide or remove them.

I don't know what approach is best. How do other fonts get rid of the marks?

Re: CJK characters full-width

It is hard to tell without seeing the source, but it seems the blue glyph has a zero advance width.

Re: Making swash character making file size much bigger

Thank you for sending the font project. I suspect the file is blown up due to the large kerning lookup.

If you leave it out, the file size becomes less than 100 KB.

Re: Complete composite not work as it should be

You should not delete the glyphs. You need to open a glyph edit panel to edit the outlines of both macroncomb and dotaccentcomb.

I suggest you delete the component in both, so you end up with the contours.

Re: Complete composite not work as it should be

We have received the font project and noticed your macroncomb glyph contains both a contour and a composite member. It all works just fine again after deleting the component. The same goes for your dotaccentcomb.

Re: MainType sees more fonts than applications do

Another example is up at the top of the font list. Akzidenz Grotesk isn't seen in Windows but MainType sees it and says that everything is fine. This is screenshot4.png and screenshot5.png I guess it is named slightly different, namely: Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk It is a font from 1999 and the namin...

Bhikkhu Pesala is a respectful user who is not affiliated with us. He has been around helping other users for so long, so it is understandable to think he is an employee. Anyway, I am not able to reproduce the glyph outlines, so I wonder if you are using the latest version of FontCreator. And if so,...
