Trouble installing partial font

Post by franksacco »

I only needed to design 4 characters in my font. I saved it and tried to install the font, but I'm getting an "Installation Failed" message. Do you need to complete a whole font set in order to install it, or can partially completed fonts be installed? Thanks! Frank

No need to add outlines to the whole set of glyphs. To ensure the font is valid, just press F5 and you'll see. When running FontCreator 5.5 or earlier on Windows Vista the font install feature will most likely fail, unless you start FontCreator with Administrator privileges (right-click FontCreator and choose "Run as Administrator"). You can also choose to install the font through Windows fonts folder.
