I just purchased FontCreator Pro. I am trying to paste emf format from my vector based editor to a glyph but nothing is pasted. I did try this using the trial before I purchased and it was working. Since registering, it is not. I did try pasting into other apps to check the clipboard content and it’s fine.
I restarted pc and tried it with a new project too.
What could cause this?
Can you zip the EMF file and attach it to the forum?
Please see attached
M.zip (475 Bytes)
The line weight is too thin (only 0.072 pt). Try increasing it to 2 points.
Ok that kind of works but I get a double outline.
I have a clean vector outline in my vector editor which I copy to clipboard then paste to a glyph in FontCreator, but it seems to be pasting the bitmap element of the emf file, is that right? I want it to use the perfect vector outline I created, not to trace a bitmap that I must edit afterwards.
Please explain how I can insert my original vector glyph into FontCreator as a vector without loss of quality.
EMF import only supports bitmaps. Try SVG.
As it stands, all you need to do is delete one of the two contours that are imported after increasing the line width. There may be some rounding of the corners.
FontCreator does a good job of vectorizing but as you say, the corners become rounded which I don’t want. I want the perfect version I created.
So I can’t paste a SVG file using my vector editor.. How do I import a saved SVG file to a glyph in that case?
Please provide enough information, that allows us to reproduce the issue.
FontCreator does support SVG, so it might be an easy fix.
Hi
I just want to know this:
I have a SVG file. It’s one glyph.
How can I import this file to a FontCreator glyph?
I’m a new user and cannot find a way to do it.
Save the SVG to disk and click the picture icon (Import Image) in FontCreator.
Thanks for your help. I think I am now ready to go!
To import multiple images at once, drag and drop them from Explorer into the Glyph Overview.
FontCreator should go for the SVG if pasting from clipboard, so please let us know what application you use as vector editing software.
