Problems with exporting fonts to html
Problems with exporting fonts to html
I want to export a font collection to html, but all I get is plain text.
I can't figure out how I can get a preview of my fonts in html format.
There must be an option somewhere, but I can't find it.
I hope there is someone who can help me out.

The option is on the first dialogue of the Font Export Wizard.
Tools, Export Font Information, All Fonts or Selected Fonts, HTML
The result is something like this: WordPerfect Fonts

Yes, i understand that. That's not the problem.
The problem is that my output is not similar as yours. In your example, the wordperfect fonts, you can see a preview of each font.
When I export my collection to html, all I see is the plain text of the fonts and not the previews.
I uploaded my fonts collection so you can see what I mean. I hope you can come up with a solution.
Look here for the example: http://www.rjct.nl/carmen/fonts/index.html

Yes I did upload those folders. But I notice now that my images/font folder is empty.
When I use the export wizzard, all the html files are made. But there are not made images of my fonts, so now it's obvious why I can't see the previews of the fonts.
In the Fonts Export folder I can imagine that automatically de images/font folder has to be filled by using the wizzard, but that is not the case.
What do I have to do so the images of the fonts are made?
Excuse me for my bad english, it's hard to explain this way but I hope you understand my question.

I understand the problem, so don’t worry about your English . However if you prefer Dutch, just send a private message to me.
Unfortunately I can't image why the images aren't there. Can you please give us some more information about your system, what version of MainType you are running and what settings you use during the export.

Ok, I am glad you understand the problem
I have made some screenshots, with the settings I used, but all of them are in my opinion standard settings. The only thing I changed is the location of the output folder.
I use windows XP and MainType version 2.0 (build 0).
When I click the finish button, all the html files are made and also this subfolder:
I believe that in that subfolder 'fonts' the images of the fonts should be stored, but that directory stays empty.....
I hope you can figure out what is wrong and why I can't get the images.

Empty folder
Perhaps I am missing something?
It looks to me as if the images are being directed into the next folder up from your "Fonts" folder. You just need to change the folder to be used.
For now you can just move them manually. Feel free to email me if I'm all wet.
