Hi Ralf, I suppose really the question is :- to your knowledge does Fontlab 5 produce .fea files when a font is generated and how does it do it. To my knowledge, it does produce them because I know I didnt save those files manually but I have absolutely no idea how to do it.
-
I guess that’s just a problem of line break encoding. Both files you attached work correctly for me in a proper editor.

I just tried opening the files in Word and it seems they are Right justified but at least usable... a simple case of select all and Left justify works a treat. I had been opening them in Notepad. Id still to find out how the auto generated files were created though...which are left justified already.

I have included an image to better explain.

The only difference I see is an additional line break. Is that what you mean?

Hi Ralf, The auto generated file was readable it was in exactly the same format as it is in Fontlab. eg a new line when a new line was used. The file that was created when I actually saved the features had no formatting at all. My question is how do i get it to make the auto file. I know I didnt save the good fea file but i have no idea of what setting to do it. I hope that made sense. As examples see the files below. 1 is the good file type auto generated. 2 is the manually saved file. What do I do to make the auto file? I hope this made sense. 1.txt 2.txt

I am unsure what formatting you expect. The Opentype features are just a plain text list of one feature after another.

I am having trouble with Fontlab5 saving my .fea file. When I first installed it( and without changing anything I think) it was generating .fea files when I generated the font and the formatting was perfect. I am assuming they are generated because they have the same file name as the generated font. I have tried saving the file through the opentype panel but the formatting is non-existant. Any ideas?

Hi Riccardo, Many thanks for your compliment much appreciated. Thanks also for the links to the other fonts, I will definitely check them out. The style is my own handwriting so I suppose it would be difficult to be similar to that. At the moment, this font contains around 970 glyphs (33 s connections) and about 4000 kerning pairs as well as 51 pages(double spaced) opentype code. It started in 1996 and has slowly developed. Im actually a sculptor! Many thanks again.

By the way, kudos for the accomplishment!

Not so much for the style, but notable for the use of alternates, out of the top of my head, in no particular order: Suomi Hand Script Rollerscript FF Mister K You should also do it for punctuation.

Hi Ralf, Many thanks for your comment. Yes I really ought to make alternatives for each number. Do you know of any/many other fonts that are similar to this. I know there are alot that say they are handwriting in style but there is quite a lot of repetition in them. Although that can be said for the greek side of my font, I think the English side is on the verge of looking handwritten. On another note, I have just upgraded to Fontlab 5 from 4.6 (4.6 was used for this font) and I am having trouble with some of the coding I did in 4.6 to make it work in 5. I am only an font enthusiast and dont have the extensive knowledge that a professional has. It is mainly to do with the language aspect of it, I believe. Should I post the problem here or would it be better elsewhere. Hopefully, it will be a quick fix.

The only thing that caught my attention were the identical figure glyphs for 8. Other than that it looks perfectly fine.

Hi Guys, Ive been working on my own handwriting font for some time now (it still needs work on it and some kerning)and would like to get some opinions/ feedback on it and any comments on how commercially viable it might be. It is extensive in its variety of letters and also has Greek capability. Many thanks Neil
