hey I’m new to font creator but not new to making fonts so anyways when I bring up the character map everything is where it belongs but when I export it things like $,&,@,:,;(,),%,*,+,<,> are missing and I can’t figure out why please help 
Which version of FontCreator are you using? Have you registered it yet?
Please see the FAQ
Yes it’s registered and I’m using version 7.5.0 I’ve never had this problem until recently
The symptoms match what would happen with an unregistered version of 7.5
Double-check in Help, About to see if it is still registered. Perhaps a registry cleaner or a windows update has caused it to be unregistered. If so, re-enter the registration key.
Check that the missing glyphs are still mapped to the right code-points.
If that’s not it, please contact Erwin by email.
