I created a font with 25 characters. After installing, the font shows up fine in Excel, and in the Windows Charmap but not in Word documents. In Word, the characters are substituted with normal english capital letters. Uninstalling/reinstalling makes no difference; change the default printer does not; installing for all users does not.
I have Windows 10 and Office 365.
I took another font that worked in Word, edited it to add the 25 characters from the other font, saved it with a new name, installed in, and the characters show up fine in Word.
So clearly there is something wrong with the first font, but I cannot figure out what. Can someone give me some clues as to what might need tweaked in the first font?
