Hello,
I’ve just recently purchased FontCreator home edition, and I’m working on my first font, I started with drawing the letters on CSP, converting to SVG files on Illustrator, then importing to FontCreator, but the font (meant to look like this) didnt have both colours.
How I drew it
How the imported SVG ended up looking when I uploaded it
I found the tutorial posted by HighLogic on youtube on how to do coloured glyphs, so I followed that process to make my font look like how I wanted it to look, separating the colour layers and using colorize.
I did that to all the SVG glyphs I uploaded, as this is a basic font I thought I could just reuse those extra glyphs on the Lowercase letters too, so I simply opened each one and went straight to colorize mode to add those glyphs (I fear this was a mistake I don’t know how to fix, but continuing on).
So in the end, in the preview, I ended up with the font looking exactly how I wanted.
I thought to myself “Right I’ll export it now” but no matter what settings I use, I get this on the Windows Font Viewer:
Which is bizarre because when I installed the font off of FontCreator, Windows displays it properly:
I was confused so I thought I’d check on Photoshop if it worked properly and it doesn’t (looks the same on Word):
I was hoping I could get some help on exporting it. I’ve played with pretty much all the export settings but these were the last ones I used:
I feel like it might be an issue I need to sort out before I export? I tried to convert COLR to SVG on all the glyphs but that didn’t seem to do anything.
Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me out, and let me know if I should provide any more information.
For a two colour glyph, you need two glyph members for the two colours, and a colour glyph that combines them. All glyphs must have the same advance width.
