Thanks.

If your fonts works in most places, then it is likely the external applications that fail to show your font correctly are the culprit.

Some applications can't cope with our advanced way of compressing OpenType layout features, so you might want to uncheck that option. We introduced this option very recently. It is available in the Options dialog -> Font tab.

Probably not related, but also ensure your font starts with a .notdef glyph.

In most previous releases this option was disabled by default, so it probably won't help you.

If the issue remains, do post a screenshot so we better understand the exact problem.

Unfortunately I unchecked this option but nothing changed, I feel so sick, spinning over 5 days harder on this font, staying until final point exporting, the results failed, I'm using affinity designer for all my stuff, so, I need it to be working on it as other fonts, anyway, I'm gonna test other alternative progs and let's see.
