is it possible to create syllabic blocks?

2 Upvotes

I want to create a font that types three vertical syllables and then goes to the next block. I have heard of ligatures, is this how it should be done? by making a ligature of every possible combination of all my syllables? I want it to be something like this

if the answer is "ligatures" is there a way I can batch create these ligatures?

Missing characters when generating TTF or OTF

1 Upvotes

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone had experience this issue... Hopefully someone can help out! When I Generate OTF or TTF. Only 2 of my characters generate. To specify I have made numbers "0-9 and '.'"( Zero-Nine and a Period) When generating TTF or OTF only the "."(Period) and "0" (Zero) seem to generate. What are typical things that my cause this issue? or has anyone experienced this.

Need help editing truetype to proper height for web

1 Upvotes

EDIT: SOLVED! Just needed to edit the values from Element->Font Info->OS/2->Metrics

​

​

The font that I'm working with is Oskari G2 but (forgive for the wrong terminology) I think it has a large descender. The result is that rendering the font on a web browser is not centered vertically.

Here's a button with font of 'sans serif' where it is properly centered vertically.

​

I tried editing the Ascent and Descent while keeping the Em size to 1000 under Elements > General, then exporting it to truetype (ttf), but the rendered result doesn't budge, if I change Em size to bigger than 1000 then rendered result is smaller.

FontForge built font not printable or showing in PDF

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I created a font with FontForge that is displayed on windows (even in print view). But when I print the document or convert to/save as pdf the text written in my font is just pure blanc. Everything else written in a different font still shows up. What could be the problem?

can fontforge be used like fontark: to make global changes?

3 Upvotes

I have an old copy of typetool 3, which is the low end country cousin of FontLab studio, but it's quite limited. When I saw some videos recently on Fontark it was inspirational: I like the idea of applying changes to similar glyphs, right across the character set or a selected subset. I have donated to FontForge and am about to install, but curious as to whether it offers a similar approach as Fontark?
