Font changes not been applied or saved

Post by FINJD »

I 'm trying to change the asterisk character in a font I made in Fontcreator. All looks OK in the Glyph and Kerning view windows. But when I try the Font test, or save the font to a TTF or OTF font, the asterisk character is wrong.

The correct characters are marked for export & no validation errors are shown for the asterisk character. I wonder what went wrong. This hasn't until now happened with other fonts I've built from vectors.

The font should always start with the .notdef glyph, but you have excluded it for export. Just include it, so the asterisk is no longer the first glyph.

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware that this character had to be included, now I'm wiser :-)

Solution worked fine, of course.

Cheers,

Joel
