I am having issues with a font I created using Font Creator 5.6. For some reason the font does not seem to embed into my automatically generated MS Word documents. I have set ‘Embed TrueType fonts’ to true in my code. However, only the system fonts are embedded - not the one I created. I have tried setting the embedding rights to installable but this did not help. I have also tried setting it to editable - this did not work either. I have installed the font correctly into my windows/fonts folder and verified that the font is usable in Word documents on the server.
Embedding symbol fonts might not work in Word. What version of Microsoft Word do you have?
Have you tried if it works in a regular manually created document, and also try to do this on another system as a cache issue might be the cause of the problem.
I am using Word 2007. Extracting the .docx file to see the individual component files I can see that the font I created was embedded as expected. However, when it is done automatically this is not the case.
When I try to view the Word document with the font in the docx file, the font is not displayed properly - rather it is just two squares.
Based on the information you’ve provided, I don’t think there is a problem with your font. We are not Microsoft Word experts, so I suggest you contact Microsoft. Do let us know your results.
