Version 15: Several features worked better in version 13

[outofstepfontco]

Maybe another setting in the Options -> Font tab is causing unexpected behaviour, but when FontCreator exports your font, it will not strip used OpenType layout features.

We can pinpoint the problem if you send us the font project along with the exported font files for both TrueType and CFF (PostScript) font formats.

It wasn't stripping features, but it was stripping the Class Manager group definitions:

Code: Select all

@KernClass_A = [A a Agrave Aacute Acircumflex Atilde Adieresis Aring agrave aacute acircumflex atilde adieresis aring Amacron amacron Abreve abreve Aogonek aogonek];
@KernClass_T = [T t Tcedilla tcedilla Tcaron tcaron Tbar tbar];
@KernClass_U = [U u ugrave uacute ucircumflex udieresis Uring uring Utilde utilde Umacron umacron Ubreve ubreve Udoubleacute udoubleacute Uogonek uogonek];
@KernClass_V = [V v];
@KernClass_W = [W w Wcircumflex wcircumflex];
@KernClass_Y = [Y y ydieresis Ydieresis Yacute yacute Ycircumflex ycircumflex];
@KernClass_F = [F f];
@KernClass_J = [J j Jcircumflex jcircumflex jdotless jcaron];
@KernClass1 = [AE ae];
@KernClass_L = [L l Lacute lacute Lcedilla lcedilla Lcaron lcaron Lmiddledot lmiddledot Lslash lslash];
@KernClass_P = [P p];
@KernClass_R = [R r Racute racute Rcedilla rcedilla Rcaron rcaron];

I see there was a new update issued on November 18th. Was this issue addressed as part of that update? I am now having trouble replicating the issue. That is, the issue is now resolved.

It wasn't stripping features, but it was stripping the Class Manager group definitions:

According to the OpenType specification, unused classes cannot be stored within a font, and this behavior has been consistent for over 20 years. It seems that FontCreator is correctly adhering to these standards by stripping out unused Class Manager group definitions.

If you believe this is affecting your font project in an unintended way, please provide a sample project and detailed steps to reproduce the issue. This will allow us to investigate further and determine if there’s a potential solution or workaround for your specific case.

We’re here to help and want to ensure you have the best experience with FontCreator. Looking forward to your response!
