[CLOSED] Font creator 2889 export issue

Post by Nebuldu »

Font creator 2889 export issue
The program regularly shows the files exported as instance and masters on Windows. If you notice in the picture, it shows both of the sample texts in bold. In previous versions of the program, weights such as light and extralight, which are lower than regular, were not interpolated. But this problem has been fixed in version 2889. There is also a problem with the program: When I check the font for errors and fix the problems, it finds the corrected glyphs as incorrect again.

I have received two font project files. The one with the variable font works just fine, as the exported instances show up correctly in Windows Fonts Settings dialog.

It is likely if you test and export your font a lot, that Windows font cache gets corrupted. Better uninstall all Sedid fonts, reboot, and then install the instances. Do not install both instances and the variable font, as that will also cause conflicting issues.

The other font project (Sedid Bold.fcp) has issues, as it has no instance. Especially Style Name, Weight Class, and Width Class are important.

This doesn't ring a bell, so please provide detailed information about what errors you check and fix.
