Why won't my font work in Microsoft programs?

FontCreator - Font Editor FontCreator - Support

I recently purchased the high-logic font creator program and made a font. It works in Adobe products but will not work in any Microsoft programs.

The font is listed in the fonts window but when I try to type with it all I get are boxes.

Please help - I’m in dire need of this info.

Thanks

Harvey

Take a look at Format, Settings, Ranges, and check that the Unicode settings are shown. If no Unicode ranges are defined MS programs might have problems.

I faced the same problem, I was working on an Arabic base font, When I Calculated Unicode Ranges FC takes proper Arabic Unicode ranges. I tried calculate Code page Character rages but FC don’t automatically takes CP1256 and without CP1256 font won’t work in IE. Font work fine with Mozilla products. Later I selected manually CP1256. Now font is working in IE also,

thanks,
Nazim

I checked the font range and the unicode settings. They were shown and I still can’t access this font in any Microsoft Programs.

Nazim, I could not find any place to select manually and could not find it.

Please help me!!!

Can you send a copy of your font directly to me? I’ll see if I can identify your problem.

The font is only used for the purpose of reproducing and understanding the reported problem.

I’m trying to create a Tamil TTF in BMP. It doesn’t work. Understand CP info is missing. Can any one guide me in getting this info for ALL in BMP?
