The newly generated font now doesn't show the correct glyph. I'm unsure what these mean, but I tell FontForge to go ahead anyway, so I clicked "Save".
Glyph contains overlapped hints (in the same hintmask) I have not changed any settings in FontForge, so the "Options" window just shows defaults.Īfter validating, an error shows up saying that "the font contains errors": The behavior of fontforge in failing to report the self-intersection > and erroneously reporting wrong direction should be considered a bug > in fontforge. I only force glyph names to: "Validate Before Saving". I then export/generate the font through File>Generate Fonts., where I'll select a fontname, say comic2.ttf, where I'll set options: "TrueType", "No Bitmap Fonts" and "No Rename". In the new window I can save the font as say, comic2.sfd. Afterwards, I save the font as a FontForge file (just to be sure) through File>Save as. I move an anchor point to a random location (you can change two anchor points to be sure). To edit the glyph, I open up FontForge* and double click any glyph. I can change any glyph, say the capital letter A. Steps to reproduce: Draw a shape in counter-clockwise direction. FontForges ability to fix a problem actually creates a problem. The problem persists.įor reproducability, consider Comic Sans (which I believe comes with any windows distribution): a TrueType flavoured OpenType font. But this time I found a reproducible bug. I've already tried changing the font cache, reinstalling everything (windows included), or trying different fonts, glyphs, and so on. I can reproduce the problem on both of my windows 7 systems (laptop/PC), I can reproduce the problem with either of two pieces of font editing software. I've tried changing some things around a bit. Converting the OpenType file to readable font metrics for my typesetting software, the *wrong* glyph shows up in the glyph table. FontExplorer does *not* show the edited glyph, while Suitcase Fusion *does* show the new glyph.
However, something strange happens when I check the font in the font management software.

(The final product is to be a math font for use with the TeX typesetting system.)Įditing any font is correctly reflected in both pieces of font editing software (Studio as well as FF).
#FONTFORGE WRONG DIRECTION TRIAL#
To check how the new font looks, I also have trial versions of I therefore decided altering the glyph slightly to show a longer extension from the baseline (I hope it's clear what I mean with this).Īfter doing some research, I have the following software at my disposal for changing the glyph: In a font I recently bought, a glyph is too small for my liking (the glyph in question is the "radical" ).
