Unicode 14

Post by NinnaD »

How can I export a font with the new ranges (Latin Extended-F, Latin Extended-G) included?

Unicode 14 is relatively new. I suspect that FontCreator needs an update. The latest FontCreator version was released on August 20th, which predates the release of Unicode 14 on September 14th.

I tried updating Blocks.txt and UnicodeData.txt in C:\Program Files\High-Logic FontCreator 14\Unicode\ but I could not get it to work. I advise waiting for a reply from the program's author.

Go to Tools, Options, Advanced, and copy the Data files to the User Data Folder. Then open the User Data Folder and go to the Unicode folder.

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\FontCreator14\Unicode

It should contain these files:
ArabicShaping.txt
Blocks.txt
Scripts.txt
UnicodeData.txt

You can then replace those files with the most recent ones as available from here:
https://www.unicode.org/Public/14.0.0/ucd/

For changes to take effect, you will need to restart FontCreator.

Yes, I did that back when.

It did the job, as far as Libre Writer is concerned, but in Word I'm not seeing any Latin ranges after Latin Extended Additional. Latin Extended-C appears under Glagolitic, -D under Modifer Tone Letters, -E under Phags-pa, -F & -g under Extended Characters - Plane 1, and Combining Diacritical Marks under Buginese. I know it's M$ problem, not FC, but I'd like to know if anyone else is seeing the same?
