I am trying to edit a TrueType symbol font to add some names to the glyphs. However, when exporting the font, it doesn't seem to be properly recognised by other software (specifically Windows' font APIs) as a symbol font.

I have tried using Tools->Convert Font->Convert to Symbol Font, with glyphs mapped to character codes in the range 0xF000 to 0xF0FF. Specifically, codes 0xF021 to 0xF054, which I believe should be fine as this is the range the font started with. I have also tried the range 0x21 to 0x54 just in case, which didn't work.

The FontCreator version is 12.0.0.2539, 64-bit.

Some additional info:

• Every time I close and reopen the FontCreator project, it seems to get reverted to a Unicode font, which is strange.
• I believe this font has been successfully edited with a previous version of FontCreator (not by me though).
• I'm using Windows 10 Pro, version 1809, 64-bit.

I can confirm the issue. We'll have to look into this to fix it.

We've located the exact cause of the issue, so the bug will be fixed with the next upcoming update.

Thanks for your response. Do you know if the update will be released soon, or if there is a workaround in the meantime?

We've just uploaded a maintenance release that solves this issue. Do use the update feature within FontCreator get this latest version, or download it from the download page.
