Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum but I just noticed that MyFonts seems to reject fonts made with FontCreator…
Does anyone have fonts made with FontCreator are accepted by MyFonts?..
We know several font designers who make their fonts with FontCreator and sell them at myfonts.
I’ll contact them to find out the reason for this.
Would love to get an update to this if available.
Thanks.
I’ve send them an email and asked why fonts made with FontCreator are not accepted, but so far I haven’t received a response.
I’ll wait till Monday before I contact another person.
Monotype’s phone number for MyFonts is:
1-781-970-6000
Sometimes a phone call works better than email.

That is right!
I’ve called that number and was told to contact another person. So I send him an email earlier today. I hope that helps.
Thanks for the update, Erwin.

I received a reply yesterday afternoon. Good news and most likely more good news:
They will remove FontCreator from the “non-accepted” list. I will let you know when this is done.
The next couple of weeks they are going to test our software to see if it can be put on the “good list”.
Hello Erwin,
I have only used the Professional version. Of the three versions, the Home version does not allow for commercial use.
This is different from other font creator applications I think. There are other limitations say between FontLab’s main product and TypeTool products. There is no commercial/non-commercial difference.
So a question would be if MyFonts desired to honor HL’s distinction, is there a means for them to differentiate between the fonts that the Home, Standard and Professional versions can generate?
Mike
Oh, interesting. So then there are two questions: 1) Is there any difference in the font file created between any of the Font Creator software versions, in that, do the non-professional versions create a file that is limited in some way? And, 2) Is there any difference in the font file created by the Professional Font Creator and the other font software programs that are listed as acceptable my My Fonts? I use a several thousand dollar software package to create .dwg files. But there are other, even free, programs that can also create .dwg files. The creation of the file, and the definition of the file is different than how “powerful” or “complete” or “professional” or “comprehensive” the program is, or IS SEEN BY SOME TO BE.
Looks like they have removed FontCreator from the rejected list. 
However, they did not add it to the recommended list either… 
Oh well…
The only difference is the fact you are not allowed to use the home edition for commercial purposes. On export we set the license agreement field to:
“This font is made with the home edition of FontCreator. You may not use this font for commercial purposes.”
And the License URL to:
http://www.high-logic.com/fontcreator/fontlicense.html
Sure they are differences, but I think FontCreator is currently one of the most advanced font editors.
Perfect!
The next couple of weeks they will test our software, so then we’ll know more.
I expect they will add both:
FontCreator Standard
FontCreator Professional
At least that is how they did it with Glyphs and Glyph Mini.
People from MyFonts are still testing FontCreator, but I’ve just received an update.
They haven’t completed their audit yet, but so far they seem to like our font editor. Currently their main concern is the fact FontCreator has no way of editing CFF based outlines. The lack of more advanced Metric and Kerning windows have also been mentioned. Fortunately they haven’t found any reasons to not accept foundries onto MyFonts who made their fonts with FontCreator.
That isn’t a big surprise, as I know several customers/foundries already sell their fonts at MyFonts 
I’ll keep you posted when more news comes.
Thanks for the update, Erwin.
Heck, they seem to move as fast as the US Government! Glacial comes to mind.
Mike
They also want to see FontCreator 9 beta, which I haven’t send yet. So I guess I’m part of the delay.
Are there any updates from MyFonts yet?..
Also, have they start testing the beta version yet?..
I provided the beta version, but unfortunately I’ve been told the review team who is in charge of this, has not enough time right now 
I send another reminder email last week, but so far I haven’t heard back.
Since FontCreator 9 is currently the most advanced OpenType font editor with respect to OpenType layout features, it really makes me sad that even though I’ve made several attempts to kindly push the people at myfonts.com, they haven’t responded to my emails for over two months
I won’t give up, but I don’t want to mail them every week, as then they might accuse me of being impatient…
I’m considering a petition if this month goes by without any positive news from there side.
To be continued.
