Re: Czech language in FontCreator
These are the additional accented characters that you need to write in the Czech Language.
If you start a new font, add the basic latin glyphs A-Z, a-z, etc., you can run the Eastern Europe Transform script to add all of the required characters and more.

I opened a new font and added Basic latin glyphs. But I can't find "Eastern Europe Transform script". What button or where do I look for it?

The Glyph Transformer is on the Tools menu (unless you are using the Home Edition of FontCreator). Click the folder icon to open the Eastern Europe script.
If you're using the Home Edition you can select the glyphs from the Insert Character dialogue.
After adding the characters that you need, select the base glyph and the accent in the Glyph Overview, copy them and paste them into the relevant new (empty) glyph.
Then align them and set the side bearing to match the base glyph. Right-click on the base glyph, and open it in a new window to see the side-bearings, then close the new window, and apply the correct side-bearing from the glyph properties toolbar.

Re: Czech language in FontCreator
Some mistake. I got to the "open Eastern Europe" phase. Under the "script" window I click OK, something briefly flashed, but nothing happened with the character table. What am I doing wrong?

Select each of the "Insert Characters" commands in the Transform Wizard dialogue, and then click on the Validate button. It will tell you how many new characters will be added. However, if they already exist, none will be added.

I selected each of the "Insert Characters" commands in the Transform Wizard dialogue, but I didn't find the "verify" button.

Re: Czech language in FontCreator
Which version of FontCreator are you using?
Re: Czech language in FontCreator
FontCreator 12.0 Profesional Edition
Re: Czech language in FontCreator
I've already solved everything. Embedding characters from Eastern Europe works perfectly.
Thank you for your advice and help.
Sincerely, Magistr01.
