Hello everyone,
I’m developing an Arabic educational font, and I’d like the diacritical marks (fatha, damma, sukun, etc.) to appear in a distinct color (like red) when the font is used after export.
I followed the steps kindly shared by Mr. Erwin:
Selected the diacritic glyphs from the Glyph Overview
Picked red from the Palette
Applied: Right-click → Colorize to Selected Color
The colored marks look perfect inside FontCreator.
But after exporting (using “Both: Color and SVG”), the colors don’t appear when testing the font in Word or other applications.
My Question:
What’s the correct way to ensure the colored marks remain visible after export?
Is it an export setting issue, or a limitation in certain software?
I’m looking for a practical, tested workflow to make this work — especially for Quranic and educational purposes.
Any insight or example would be greatly appreciated!
Warm regards,
