Create Font doesn't recognise family fonts

in Integration and Hardware • 3 years ago

Hi,

I have been trying to create .vlw files from the Create Font tool. But it doesn't recognise different fonts in the same font family.

There are three variations in the family like Somefont, Somefont-Bold, Somefont-Italic. And every names of the variation are on the list of the Create Font tool window, however, the preview shows the same font (the first one). When I created the vlw anyway the result was the same as the preview.

The font is an original font my friend made. It was .otf format, then I tried with converted .ttf files but still doesn't work.

Other font family is working properly.

The font works in different applications like Illustrator/MSWord.

Does anyone know how this problem is solved or any suggestions?

Thanks,

I have this problem or similar as well.
I think I am using too old fonts? Helvetica comes in many different shapes, brands and fileformats. It still refuse to make me a Light one. I am considering converting between fileformats as a problem solver. But you seemed to have tried that already. So perhaps getting a new Helvetica package would solve it for me. Your problem yshuky is that you can't download a different brand of the font. I hope I can solve this soon. Or at least get a better hint of the problem. I dont want to createFont. I cannot rely on system fonts.
