Problems with Cyrillic characters

[BertaB]

Hello,

I have a problem with the Cyrillic characters and hope you can help me. When I test them, then the letters are one above the other. When I install my font, then the Cyrillic text in Word or similar programs is displayed instead of my font, in Calibri.
What have I done wrong?

I am using FontCreator 7.5 Professional Edition.

If you can attach the font, it will be easier to see what's wrong.

I hope this is enough to find the mistake. Thank you.

It still leaves me guessing what is wrong.

Open the glyph properties dialogue (F3) and check the Advance Width of the Cyrillic glyphs. If that is zero, then that is the cause of your problem. Run Tools, Autometrics, Fixed bearings to set the side-bearings to a positive value. If that works, you can manually adjust the side-bearings to get the spacing as you want for individual glyphs.

Yeah, it work's! Thanks a lot!

Spoke too soon...
It works now when tested in Font Creator, but in Word processing programs, the Cyrillic text is still displayed in Calibri. Why?

Update the Ranges and Code-pages on the Ranges tab in font properties.

Now it really works. Thank you.

The problem was the same. I will describe it for those who do not fully understand. The replacement of styles, base fonts, Normal.dotm in Word 2010 did not help either.
The reason Word switches to the base font is the same as when trying to enter Cyrillic in pure English - glyphs can be listed but not interpreted. For some reason, only the Word does not cope.
Excel, Photoshop, MindManager and other programs easily understand such fonts.
When it comes to editing your own or other fonts, then this is solved through the FontCreator.
Update the Ranges and Code-pages on the Ranges tab in font properties.
You need to manually set the ranges of codes and symbols in the Fonts / Properties / Ranges / Code page - Edit - Cirillyc settings. That is, it is the input of characters that is allowed, and not only the display. Experiment with internal values.

Thank you for your input, but this thread is seven years old.
