A font export bug in the latest versions of FontCreator?

[Philipp]

Recently I found out that the font created by FontCreator of the latest versions is not displayed correctly in some programs.

Long tormented in search of problem of font itself. Nothing came out. However, after replacement of the font on created in FontCreator earlier versions, all began to be displayed correctly, as it is supposed.

I tried to compile the same old version of my font in the latest version of FontCreator and the bug reappeared. However, the font export settings have not changed...
What's the problem?

It is most likely an issue with the shaping engine in your application.

Can you try to isolate the issue by downsizing the font and export it in both current and former version of FontCreator?

 I would be happy to do this, only by imprudence I removed the previous versions of FontCreator. Where would one get them?
 In addition, as I said, I exported the previous version of my font, which was displayed correctly, by the current FontCreator. This gave the same bug. Illustrations you can see in the topic. Therefore, if the new version of the font were exported, there would be no distortion. But those previous versions of FontCreator incorrectly exported color glyphs.
 I don't have a good knowledge of the font export mechanism. Therefore, should to your advice, if any. There is no wish to switch to another font application because of this problem, just as it's sad to lose so much time learning and work done using FontCreator.

 Hi Erwin! Your link contains the general versions of FontCreator (13, 12, 11...). However, the problem appeared in one of the 14th versions. I found version 14.2794. I exported that my font project. The problem is gone.

 Thus, this bug appeared in one of the subsequent versions up to the current one. So You already know where to look. What else could I do to help you?

By the way, the export settings are the same in all cases.

Without a font to test, we can't tell for sure, but we think it is most likely an issue with the software you use to display the font.

If it is bug on our side, we would really love to fix it.

Does the font work okay in both versions if you remove all OpenType layout features?
