Hi
Bhikkhu Pesala,
Thank You,
for your reply!
Why the techie infos?
Well, I have heard of some fancy things in fonts, including that
OpenType is like a superset of
TrueType,
so that tables and everything is largely the same for both.
I would like to make my English Language type designs having some nice vertical and horizontally displaying features.
I would like to do some graphic novel text, which might look kind of cool if the rules for the lettering were really good.
(
<--this is me, shown here trying to do justice to your question,
B.P.)What makes me or everybody think that the tables would be the way??
I just know that **
if the fonts require tables, then those affect the behaviours into the type designer's workings tables,** so that I seem to
be 'oblivious to ignore that.
(
<--me again, still working it out)
Well, having learned somewhat about FontCreator, " tables, PCL-5, and MS Volt" are the complex things that I could not get all the information about via |Help| alone.
MS Volt is on the
Microsoft (r web presence, and I will be looking into that shortly.
PCL-5 is clearly for some kinds of business use that are not much related to OpenType or two byte fonts or Unicode, it seems to me, and so that I am not curious about
PCL-5 at this time.
So, that leaves finding out the names of the sixteen and how to use FontCreator's supportable
tables.
Now,
You say,
B.P., that you have used FontCreator for years and have never had any need to think much about into tables, in that time?
That is a good thing to hear of.
So then, I have looked into resources to *'tables such as the one that you offered us the hyper-link to?
Those include a *lot* more than sixteen tables!
**Using internet resources, I can read up on tables..,** :
I am hoping that by reading up on tables, and by learning some basic things with MS Volt, I will be able to do some nice things with my Type Design!
I suppose that the way that I see it, sixteen tables could be learned up, by studying, especially if that I can actually use those in my practices, type design with FontCreator.
On the other hand, since FontCreator does not presently support more than sixteen tables, I do not have a purpose into studying more than those sixteen supported.
Since some low number, "sixteen," are supported,
even if some only partially or incompletely, I feel that I could learn these; all,
if I knew which were named in each case.
While it is true that I will need to know how to put currently unused tables into |Format|Tables...| to include this into listed since I do not see anything... :"add tables..." ....

(I have a good understanding of FontCreator quid). However:
