Re: GSUB type 18 lookup (Reverse chaining context single)
The help file says that FontCreator 10 supports all types of substitutions.
If a feature does not work in the Preview Toolbar, open a font Test Window, select the test font in Word or whatever application you're using, and test the feature there.

I don't have an Urdu font installed. OpenType features do not work in the font test window. You have to test it in Word (or whatever) after installing the font, or using the temporary file name generated by the Font Test window.majeed wrote:thanks for your reply

There are only 8 lookup types defined, and lookup type 8 is the Reverse chaining context single.majeed wrote:Does Font Creator 10.1 support type 18 lookup?

Previous versions had limited support, but the most recent version of FontCreator fully supports all OpenType layout features.
We've just noticed a bug which might cause issues when opening fonts which contain GSUB lookup type 8. We will release an update within a few weeks which should solve this issue. If you can't wait, let us know as we will send the new release on request to existing customers.

Urdu Typesetting font type 8 tables are also just read, The calt feature have not included. I think this is a bug.

Re: GSUB type 8 lookup (Reverse chaining context single)
I've exported two fonts and installed them. Here is some text in a Word document which comes from news about tennis:
وانسحبت التشيكية، كارولينا بليسكوفا، المصنفة رابعة، التي فازت ببطولة برزبين أمس السبت من بطولة سيدني بسبب إصابة في الفخذ. وستصعد بليسكوفا إلى المركز الخامس في قائمة التصنيف الدولية الجديدة، التي ستصدر غدا الاثنين، بعد الفوز في برزبين.
Source
I didn't see any difference between original and exported versions of these fonts, so it now seems to work just fine.
