Winamp Does not kern using update 1970.

[Jonne Haven]

Erwin,

I know we spoke of this earlier and winamp is really not your problem but maybe you have a few ideas for me... I want to use the latest update but after every permutation of exporting (ttf, legacy table, no names etc.) winamp just doesn't like this update. So right now I have two of your programs on my computer one with the latest and one with the previous update to that to use to make winamp capable fonts. The 1950 update kerns and even uses calt features in winamp, but not so in 1970 or 9.1. As I've said I've tried every permutation of export settings with the same results. I love listening to music and to see my fonts on my playlist gives me a rush, I'd like to keep up to date with the updates you've recently acheived, but I'm stuck if I want to use font in winamp. I anticipate the help you'll give me ahead of time.

Thanks,

Jonne

We've just released another update, do let us know if that solves the problem.

[Jonne Haven]

I have tried all the permutations of the new update 9.1 as soon as i could hoping for a fix. But alas...no joy.

Sorry to be a "bug"

[Erwin Denissen]

I've just found the cause of the problem.

You accidentally enabled "Ignore Base Glyphs". With this option all glyphs with GlyphType set to Simple are skipped. Obviously most/all of your kerning glyphs are simple.

So uncheck that box, and all should work again!

Installed with ignore base glyphs unchecked but still no joy, what am I doing wrong?

[Erwin Denissen]

Can you send the font and/or the font project to me?

[Jonne Haven]

I only had that checked the day I sent you the file. Otherwise since it's been unchecked. There just seems to be something different between 1950 and 1970 that causing problems. IDK.

[Jonne Haven]

Gladly!

Please can you also send me a font file (exported through 1950) so I can see how that one works?

[Jonne Haven]

Sure give me a sec

Here's the latest from 1950 of just kerned font

This version also seems to fail on kerning in WinAmp. At least on my old Win XP.

[Jonne Haven]

If you want to teamview, I'm open to that

[Jonne Haven]

Winamp's latest is 5.666. Are you using that?

[Jonne Haven]

I just checked it and it works on my end.
