Open your font, at the top of FC select
Format, Settings, Header, Font Directions Hint, and either of the last two choices.
You probably need some OpenType features (GSUB). You can make a TrueType font and then use Microsoft, Apple or Adobe’s free utilities to convert it to OpenType.
Check out the Microsoft Typography web site for information on making OpenType fonts. There are free tools, some specs, and even some articles explaining how to use their Visual OpenType Layout tool (VOLT).

Font Creator and VOLT can be used together as long as you don’t change the order of the glyphs within Font Creator (so don’t sort the glyphs). Also the postscript names should not be changed in Font Creator.
