Is MainType 6 using another/new version of your database files?

You can see which ones it is using by starting the FmsConfig utility. You can access it from Windows Start menu -> All Programs -> High-Logic MainType -> High-Logic FmsConfig. Or in case you are running Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Window 10, do search for FmsConfig. Do let us know your findings!

That looks just fine.

Can you show a screenshot of MainType? That might reveal more.

When you have MainType 5 running on your system, and then install version 6, it should automatically upgrade your existing font data.

Obviously this didn't work on your system, so I wonder why. Did you uninstall version 5 before installing version 6?

The database and other data are located at C:\ProgramData\High-Logic FontService
