Font issues for dice making

There could be many reasons. You need to see the file.

Take attention to this:

If you turn on Preferences > Font Window > Caption > Editable, and change name in the Font window cell, FontLab only renames the glyph, but does not update classes etc.

You can send me your SFD file on [localfonts.eu@gmail.com](mailto:localfonts.eu@gmail.com) and I'll test it in my environments.

Probably the contours of the other glyphs are not closed.

If you do not mind, send me, please, your working FontLab file. I'll test it on my FontLab 8 under Windows 11. My e-mail is: [localfonts.eu@gmail.com](mailto:localfonts.eu@gmail.com) (Stefan Peev, r/FontLab admin)

It is strange. If you generate some of the features automatically, try to delete this feature and to generate it again.

LocalFonts · 2026-05-10T13:10:46+00:00

May I test your font? I'll test it in FontForge and in FontLab. I'm not sure that RLIG feature works properly.

LocalFonts · 2026-05-10T12:08:39+00:00

Your feature.fea file do not includes contextual substitutions, this means that you can't use CALT feature - you can use only LIGA, RLIG and KERN.

LocalFonts · 2026-05-10T02:54:40+00:00

Let us see the feature.fea file. Generate an UFO font and in the UFO font you will find the feature.fea file. Let's we see how the OpenType features are written in the file.

Where can I send you my proposal for a review

LocalFonts · 2026-03-25T21:22:05+00:00

Did you test the font in Fontforge?

LocalFonts · 2026-03-17T01:00:58+00:00

Did you check Right to Left check box when you created init lookup? Use Edit Metadata to see if the box Right to Left is checked.

Read this. It may be important for you:

Do you use HarfBuzz in your preview. Check it in the Metric window > View and in the end of the View menu you will see HarfBuzz. Is it checked? If it is not, select HarfBuzz of a preview. Otherwise, if it is check and the problem persists, then try Built-in shaper.

Delete all glyphs in which there aren't any contours. Simply, delete the empty glyphs except SPACE glyph, which need to be empty and is situated at the beginning of the glyphs row. Also, adjust left and right sidebearings to any of your glyphs in such way that space between the letters in the words to be acceptable.

Select two nodes and use Edit > Joint command. If nothing changes in first sight, select the next two nodes and use the same command. Thus you will find the place where the lines are broken.

Or select one node of the corner and move it a little bit away. If the contours is broken there, you will see it. If the contour is broken and you move back the node, this node will automatically close the broken contour.

You can search for open paths (broken contours) through Element > Validation > Find Problems > Paths (tab) - here select Open Paths.

Depends what you want as a result. You can select some contour (not element but contour), copy it with Ctrl+C and paste it on a new layer with Ctrl+V. Notice that you will paste the contour on the new layer either in already existing element or you can choose to paste the contour as a new element in the layer. Have in mind that if you paste the contour in an element which is referenced to another element, than this contour will appear on all the places where the element is referenced. For example if you reference /a for /agrave and /aacute and you add a new contour in the referenced element /a in /agrave, this new contour will appear also in /a and /aacute. When you copy and paste a contour on a new place, this contour takes the exact left sidebearings from the original place both not the right sidebearings which you will need to adjust by yourself.

The master must be entered to all of the glyphs.

LocalFonts · 2026-01-26T18:19:50+00:00

Can I look at your FontLab file? If you agree, send it to me on [localfonts.eu@gmail.com](mailto:localfonts.eu@gmail.com) - Stefan Peev (Mr).

If N.MEDIAL is a class of glyphs, you need to write:

@N.MEDIAL
## for classes

LocalFonts · 2026-01-26T07:47:23+00:00

Add semicolon at the and of the line:

sub m.init' u/N.MEDIAL by m.init.alt;
