Hebrew "falling back" in MS applications

I’m working on a font project that includes an integrated set of Hebrew characters (actually, the project started out as a Hebrew font that grew to include a harmonious Latin script). Recently, the Hebrew characters (including the Shequel, but none of the other currency symbols) began “falling back” to TNR or some other default font, but only on Microsoft applications, including Word and Character Map. Other, non-Microsoft applications display the Hebrew characters correctly. I’ve tried installing the font on other machines with the same result.

I’ve done nothing to the OpenType script or any of the other “under the hood” stuff; I’ve just been drawing contours, adjusting bearings, etc. as I have been all along. Again, everything was fine up until a few days ago. Any idea what’s triggering this?

For the record, I’m using the full version of 7.5.0 (build 519). :slight_smile:

Try calculating the Ranges and Code Pages again.

That was it. “Calculate” didn’t do it, so I had to un-check the “automatically update” box and manually add Hebrew in the “code page range settings” dialog. Thanks.
