I'm not sure, but maybe your font lacks some characters or it is missing specific OpenType layout features.
Do you happen to know fonts that do work correctly?

thanks for your answer.In addition to the CJK compatibility forms (eg:《》｛｝【】（））other fonts do work correctly.I guess maybe miss specific Opentype layout features like you said.May I do some setting in Opentype Designer？because I don't know how to programming.

Do let us know which fonts work, so we can better understand the issue.

Yes, this is definitely due to missing OpenType layout features. See the screenshot where you see the vertical writing feature in action:
- VerticalWriting.png (114.96 KiB) Viewed 7579 times
For your font to support this, you need to add similar features.
This script (import it or paste it in the Code Editor) should get you started:
Code: Select all
script hani {
feature VerticalWriting;
}
feature VerticalWriting vert {
lookup SingleSubstitution1;
}
lookup SingleSubstitution1 {
sub arrowleft -> arrowup;
sub arrowup -> arrowright;
sub arrowright -> arrowdown;
sub arrowdown -> arrowleft;
sub uni2225 -> uni2225.v;
sub uniFF08 -> uniFE35;
sub uniFF09 -> uniFE36;
sub uniFF1D -> uniFF1D.v;
sub uniFF3B -> uniFE47;
sub uniFF3D -> uniFE48;
sub uniFF3F -> uniFE33;
sub uniFF5B -> uniFE37;
sub uniFF5D -> uniFE38;
sub uni3008 -> uniFE3F;
sub uni3009 -> uniFE40;
sub uni300A -> uniFE3D;
sub uni300B -> uniFE3E;
sub uni3010 -> uniFE3B;
sub uni3011 -> uniFE3C;
}
Let us know if you need additional help with this.

hello,Erwin Denissen.I met a new problem.when I copied script in code page ,I press action,it occured:
Compiling script...
[Error] : Linker error: Unable to link "arrowleft" to a glyphid
Failed
Elapsed time: 00:00:00.0
and then I still can't find "single substitution1"beyond vertical writing.
how can I do to let you see the screenshot?

You need to ensure your font contains a glyph with name arrowleft so the compiler can find the correct glyph. In this case it should represent character with codepoint $2190.
If you don't want these characters and glyphs, then simply remove those lines and recompile.

It seems you are still using an older version of FontCreator. For this to work I recommend you upgrade to version 9.
