[FIXED] Glyphs Are Losing Code Points In Export

[gbmhunter]

Hi, I am having an issue where certain glyphs are losing their code points when I export to a font file from within FontCreator.

I have created glyphs for some of the typically unprintable ASCII control characters, as shown below.

When I export to make a font file (I'm exporting to Web fonts) most of these work (incl. 0x00 to 0x07). However, some, like the highlighted one (backspace, BS, code point 0x08) some of the glyphs lose their code point information and fail to render. 0x08 and 0x09 lose their code points, and 0x0A starts working again.

The below screenshot shows what I see when I open up the exported .woff2 file in FontCreator. The code point (0x08) is missing from the Glyph. It also does not work when I load the font file into browser and try and display the code points (0x00 thru 0x07 work fine, 0x08-0x09 do not, 0x0A.. work well).

I have unchecked "Tools->Options->Fonts->Exclude unused glyphs", this was needed to even get 0x00 to 0x07 exporting.

This issue will be fixed with the next upcoming release.

Thanks that's great to hear Erwin! I happy to pay for a license for FontCreator if this issue is fixed (currently on the 30-day trial, this bug makes the software unusable for my use case). Any ETA on when the next release might be?

We released the update two days ago, October 23th, 2023.

Thanks Erwin! Can confirm that it is working now.
