I bought FontCreator 6.2 this weekend and created a first font. Since creating it (and 2 associated fonts), i ran into more problems than i wish. At this point, i am not sure which problem is which or if one is compounding another one. So here is a bit of the sequence of event.
Specs: Windows7-64 bits, Paintshop Pro9, MSWord 2003, TheFontThing, FontCreator6.2
I created a first font called Xstitch. I saved it, and viewed it through TFT allowing me to view and use it in PSP.
I used the Xstitch file to create another one, changed the naming to XstitchB, and saving as XstitchB.
I did the same thing for XstitchC. I was able to view them in TFT and view and used them in PSP.
Then i tried changing the name to incorporate my designer nick and turned the Xstitch to cass-Xstitch1 (going through the auto-naming and saving as the new name). That didn’t work. In TFT i would see the NAME of the font, but nothing displayed. In PSP, the name would also show, but with nothing displayed beside and the font cannot be used.
Then, i tried editing the XstitchB and XstitchC to simply modify some of the characters to make them thinner. I didn’t make any name change or anything like that and just saved. Now, these fonts are not displayed anywhere anymore. Not in TFT, not in PSP, and i even tried in MSWord and they dont appear either.
I thought it might be safer to directly install the font, so i did open the font in FontCreator6.2 and did the Install. Now, it is not even appearing in the Windows>Fonts folder, while it IS there (a search with QuickFinderXT did find it in that folder but it is not showing). And of course, i cannot find any way to use the font.
HELP!!!
