Why aren't you using real Unicode encoding? I helped to add dozens of medievalist characters. See http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UA720.pdf for instance. ...
Hello, I am seeking tutorials on creating custom unicode encodings for medieval latin fonts. I have a font which has 290 char slots but has a non-standard...
... John, In the end this is what I did... I could not find a good way to do it in FontLab (not any response from the FontLab forum on the query) but...
Use Element > Transform (or command \ ), select "Basepoint" and "Scale uniformly" then choose a percentage. I'd select one character and experiment to find the...
I'm drawing a font in Fontographer, but processing it with FontLab. I have a font metrics problem, and I am not sure what the right way to fix it is. The...
I work exactly the same way! I don't think I could draw in fontlab if my life depended on it. That program is a nightmare. Would be nice if the fontlab guys...
I spoke yesterday with Gerry Leonidis whos runs the Type Design course at Reading University for the last 10 years. His pupils first use pencil and paper for...
I've got FontLab--it's great, but Fontographer doesn't really exist, right? So there won't be improvements to that software--I thought that was the email's...
... Not at all true! FontLab bought it. And they've made an update available (for Mac anyway) and I use it all the time. I agree with Gary... Fontographer's...
I haven't used Fontographer in years but yesterday I opened an old font file in Fontographer 4 in Classic and did some drawing. Compared to illustrator and...
One of the things that really bugs me is how the names list in Fontographer and the names list in FontLab have minor differences. I always use Fontographer to...
It's usually right on top of the left sidebearing, in which case, click there and drag to the right to adjust it. Or it's way, way offscreen to the right, in...
Hey All, I am very new to Fontographer, so this may be a very elementary question. I have been using Chank Diesel's online font tutorial to get started. He...
... Do you know which ones? I suppose I'd need to see your Fog file. ... One option is to upgrade and replace the documents, but let's not go there now. ... ...
... Interesting. I'd like to see it. I recently prepared a proposal to encode Javanese script. When I was in Java we found that unlike the Balinese they did...
... Actually the lower 95 accessible characters are all used but 1, but in the code space above 128 only 38 are used. But the main problem is choosing an...
... Hi, Raymond. Welcome aboard! ... Pretty much everything you see on the keyboard is fair game for windows and macs. Are all of those characters used up in...
... I was going to lurk for a bit here, but it seems very quiet, so I'll pop up and awaken the crew... First, I use FOG 4.1.5 on an older Mac because the font...
... The glyph names in Fontographer are given internally in its STR#400. It is not difficult to either edit this, or to leave it alone, renumbering it as...
I was one of the people who helped the Romanian Standards Body to add 0218, 0219, 021A, 021B to the standard. Let's review the argument. 015E, 015F, 0162, 0163...
Don't you have to add a character name? I find when I open a Fog-generated file in FLStudio 002D and 2010 are both highlighted red. The way to fix that is to...
... This resulted from Microsoft "fixing" a bug in Word by renumbering the hyphen character. Nice of them, huh? The hyphen in Fontographer is Unicode #00AD,...
Hi, I was annoyed by an extremely old bug yesterday ;-) Cyril! Are you here? When you paste wide artwork from e.g. FreeHand, (a process that is *much* more...
... Yes! ... I always draw in Fontographer, but I process my fonts in Fontlab. There are indeed some problems with hyphens that come up there because of...
Is anyone still here? After a very long time of not doing much with Fontographer, I recently was working on revising some fonts and I cannot get the hyphen to...
I think this list is so quiet because Fontographer is such a great program, we hardly ever have trouble using it! :) Contrast that with the FontLab list, which...
