Re: Unicode Fonts

Yes - I had the same trouble with Font Creator. In the end a friend and I
figured out what to do. Unfortunately I didn't write the steps down! But
we're due to be having another try within the next few days. I do know at
least that you have to change the defaults in the dialog boxes within
[format>naming]. Just try playing around there for a while.
