Hi guys. Please, anyone help me. I created a new font. But when I pressed space, the font is reverted to Times New Roman. Every single time I pressed space, the font changes to Times New Roman. Please help me. Thank you.

Are you sure you included the space-glyph in your font?

For the font that don't include the € symbol, Word change the font when I clic on the € key.

What software are you using ?

It sounds to me like you depressed a key on your keyboard that doesn't correspond with a glyph properly placed within the font, and you are using MS Word.

Example: You are trying to type left quotations, but you haven't added all of the quotation glyph cell properly. The MS Word document defaulted to Times New Roman because what you typed could not be displayed with the selected font.

If this happened with a completed font, as opposed to a beta font for a work in progress, I'll bet it involves single or double quotations, or greater than, less than, Euro symbol, broken bar, or an accented glyph or ASCII symbol. Most likely the glyph you're trying to type isn't included in the font you're using, or it is included, but not in the correct location, or it is partially, but not completely included, (that would relate to quotation marks).

There may be other reasons. I've experiences the switch to Times New Roman in MS Word usually when the problem related to quotation marks. If you're trying to make a font, and experiencing this problem in testing, read some other threads in the discussion forum, scrolling backwards by topic, and learn a few things that have been explained previously, just not in a thread started by you.

It is not not properly placed Bobby. It is missing, so that the app is falling back to the app's default font. Why do you think I asked what I asked?

We're both correct. If I included the Ccedilla glyph in the font, but in the location where the Pilcrow is supposed to be, typing the Ccedilla on the keyboard would result in a change to the default font for the word processing app. The Ccedilla would not be missing, but it would be improperly placed.

I've had this problem in a previous font, involving the single and double quotes, one of my very early fonts, the Alice in Wonderland dingbats.

Note: It gives the 'blue screen of death" to anyone who opens it in preview, and uses Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, and has ClearType enabled, OR if it's ever used in text, with formatting! Never try to make Alice in Wonderland bold, italic, underlined, bold italic, etc. That will even freeze Notepad.

It's a pretty bad font, in terms of technical execution, but ambitious for my first attempt with large and complex source graphics. It's decent looking at 36 points. I think that one is on Abstract Fonts and a few other sites, besides my home page. I tried to add glyphs to the cells for single and double quote in my font editor, but I couldn't get them to appear in MS Word.

I didn't now that there is one pair of glyph cells for the square quotes used in text document display, another pair of glyph cells for the right single and double quotes, placed on the base line, another pair of cells for the properly oriented right single and double quotes, and another pair for the left single and double quotes. I didn't understand why the dingbat images appeared for single and double quote when typed in notepad, but not in MS Word. It was because I had inserted the glyphs in the cells for text document quotes.

I was getting the same problem with the quotes in my new font, until the 4 pairs of glyph cell positions was explained to me. I thought it had something to do with the 'replace straight quotes with 'smart quotes' setting in MS Word, but I was way off.

My new font has very different left and right single and double quotes:



and I didn't know about the eight glyph positions until fairly recently. There are probably a few people here, who didn't know that, either.

Can I email my font to someone for you to check? Please. Thank you.

Bob, ever thought of adjusting the advance width setting for characters like the O and A?

On the quotes glyphs, they are mapped here



On didineville's problem, it is probably not only the space glyph missing but also the .notdef, which would otherwise replace any missing glyph, preventing the fall-back to the app's default font.

Hy guys!
I am having the same problem as didineville

"I created a new font. But when I pressed space, the font is reverted to Times New Roman. Every single time I pressed space, the font changes to Times New Roman."
I search for the solution, but, I did not found it.

So, if anyone can help me.

Read the whole of this thread and you know what you did wrong and you know what to do to correct it.

Ok, my mistake.
I explained wrong.
I am using font creator. When I tipe space it change back to Times New Roman too.
My letters are totally different of human letter. (WHAT?)
Well, I want to do my alphabet language on computer to work better on a projet. This language is a "Alien" language that I created.

I don't know what is ".notdef", and I don't find it on the glyphs "blocks".

I am new on this too.
I don't know if I was clear now.

I read, and read, but I keep missing the solution.
And I I don't understand very well what metaphasebrothel says.

Drakon

Are you sure you create the space charactere in your font ?

Well, it appear on the glyphs.
When I open a new font blank on fontcreator, it has the possibility to take a previous scope.

In what program does that problem occurs? In Word? What version?

I think everyone here mentioned possible causes of the problem/solutions. It is hard to imagine what is in that font, so seeing the font would help a lot. You mentioned that it is a font that you created. Is it by any chance already available at Dafont or somewhere? What's the URL? I am assuming it is a free font.

Well, I can show the font, but I have a little trust issues, do you know?

The problem occurred only on Microsoft office. My version is the 2010.

It is hard to imagine what might be wrong in your font. If you did what were suggested here and nothing helped, a look at that font will likely help.

That is your font and what you do with it is your privilege and choice.
