Erwin, An update for you. Unfortunately while kerning strange things are happening. Now I've noticed that it randomly deletes seemingly random kerning pairs already made. I know you're busy and I don't want to rush you, but I'm anxious to start working again with out being...well anxious. Much oblig...

Just got your message Mike,

I'd been running in circles trying to figure out something so simple I feel like a simpleton. You explained it thoroughly and simply for a nub like me.

Appreciate it,

Jonne

Thanks for trying,they're stubborn buggers. Cost me a lot of time.
I hope Erwin can fly in with his red cape and save the day.

Erwin,

Have a curiousity. If i copy and past a glyph too much it seems to call it a composite glyph...now I don't know what a composite glyph is, all I know is that I can no longer edit the glyph. I would be a happy camper if I knew how to switch the composites back to simple.

Thanks.

Hopefully this is easier to read.

Let's see if the pic worked this time.

Mike

Here's a pic,

I know you might have missed them cuz for some reason they occur later in the alphabet.

Thanks for your interest in helping me.

I'm creating a contextual cursive font so it requires A LOT of manual kerning. I have 7000 or so pairs. Then I started using the glyph manager and didn't break up the kerning pairs made from the glyph manager groups. The result was awful, everything was out of sync. So I began breaking up the groups...

So it seems that it's more work to it that way, which I'm not entirely sure how to do. I may have better luck making my different 'a's for example, a class and rekern that way. Thinking of the quickest and most painless way to do this...thanks for your quick response!

Erwin, Thanks for saving my font! Sorry I haven't responded sooner, I've just been busy. That 'space' glyph fix I wouldn't have found in a million years. Your service is greatly appreciated in a world of large over stuffed organizations that don't make time for the little guys like me. The font is s...

You can see the problem. Fortunately I have a version that doesn't have boxes, but i'd like to know why they show up.

Thanks.

Funny I don't remember deleting any of those important glyphs. I have copied and pasted the .notdef from a working font of mine but as you can see the results are a bit unusual.

Thanks,

Erwin, I know you're a busy man and I don't want to be a nuisance but let me bring you up to speed on my font so that when you have the time you can see what you can see. I've changed all the Microsoft Settings for the 'smart' quotes'. BTW, I did have all the left right double single quotes in this ...

Oh and here is the FC file. Thanks ahead of time.

Erwin, Again I'm freaking out and need your help again. The font doesn't work in Word 2010 or Word 2013. I type in one word with the font and it changes the next word to times new roman or courier. Attached is how I intended the font to look. But I can't seem to get word to use this font with any co...
