Font Creator Italic Issue

Post by Nebuldu »

Hi. When I italicize the font from the Transform Panel, some glyphs become more italic. What could be the problem? You can see this in the pictures. Thank you.

Select only the simple glyphs before running the transformation. It is being run on the composites for a second time.

Edit: I could not reproduce the issue on the latest version of FontCreator 15.
The Composites are initially skewed twice using the Italic Transform, but is then automatically corrected.

Please check for updates.

As Bhikkhu Pesala already indicated, you have to select simple glyphs only. Then the composite glyphs automatically use the slanted base glyphs. Also make sure to unselect "Preserve side bearings".
