Print All Glyphs?

Post by Dogmatix »

Hello,

I cannot seem to persuade MainType (5.1) to print a character set containing ALL the glyphs in a font (i.e. including those without a code-point, like the OpenType small caps and stylistic alternative glyphs). It only prints the character set by unicode block, even if I click the 'G' symbol in the character set pane to display all the glyphs. Is this really only possible in FontCreator?

This seems to be the case — I tested with Palatino Linotype Regular from MainType and FontCreator. The MainType printout had many blank cells. The font is installed.

Yes, you are both correct. Right now MainType can show them, but can't print them.
