[CLOSED] Failed to create ligature

Post by faisal.quadirey »

Hi,
I facing a problem in creating ligature. For your reference images and project file has been attached.
And ligature does not appear in any software like InDesign, ms word, etc.
on clicking Shaper "smallhighaincomb-arab" it returns "smallhighaincomb-arab/.null"

ࣖ۱ ۷ ۰۰
above is typed text to form a ligature.

It indeed fails in FontCreator. The next upcoming major release will render it correctly. For now it works just fine in a web browser, so it seems to be stored correctly in the exported font.

It will take some time before we will release FontCreator 15, but let me know if you want to join the beta team. You will then get unofficial releases for testing purposes.

It renders just fine in both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, so I suspect it is an issue within the layout engine used by notepad (and Word).
