Inquiries and bug in version 15.0

Post by shuki »

I have a lot of text files in version 14 that I installed 15, they disappeared, is there a way to get them back, is version 14 removed during installation?

Do send us the font project file along with specific instructions that allow us to reproduce the problems.

I sent, it bothers me less, the problem does not interfere with applying commands.
Are the text sequences recoverable?

I have managed to fix a right-click issue related to Tags, but do let me know how to reproduce the other issues.

You can grab a copy of preview.txt as located here
C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\FontCreator14\

Then paste it into:
C:\Users\EDenissen\AppData\Roaming\High-Logic\FontCreator\15.0\

Do send the font project file along with the exported .glyphs file to me and I will look into it. Is it alright if I share the file with the people @ glyphsapp?

Is it a variable font?

Thank you for sending the font project file. It concerns a variable font, and the Glyphs app has a home-brewed syntax for OpenType layout features. Another thing is, similar to importing it back into FontCreator, Glyphs most likely can't cope with non-ASCII characters inside glyph names, anchor names, class names, etc.

Since we don't have Glyphs, we can't test it, but I will contact the people at glyphapp and see if they have suggestions.

We will be happy to update as soon as possible, we are working on a project at Google Fonts that requires support for Glyphs files

We have made several improvements related to exporting to .glyphs. Does this exported file work for you?

I have just send you a link to a new beta version of FontCreator 15. Please try it and let us know if that solves the issue.
