Thank you so much!

I'm supposed to create the 2nd book cover in a series to match the first, but we don't have the names of the fonts. Anyone recognize these? The background is too busy for some of the identifier sites.

Thanks! It was THEIR font search tool I used. How strange it didn't come up with the right one. I appreciate the help!

One site says it could be Meister Antiqua Book, but that one isn't quite right. Anyone know?

Since I'm on Windows 8.1 that probably won't work for me then. I think for now, after doing some more research, I will stick with the method I used for this one which was to draw the font in InkScape and then import the .SVG file into FontForge and edit a bit more on it there.

I submitted the font to Dafont and they approved it for addition to the site. Here it is: http://www.dafont.com/briarwood.font

I'm already working on another that will be quite different from this one, but alas, my Christmas vacation is long over and life has turned busy again. Even so, I've learned a lot and appreciate all the input I've received here. I think my next one will be better as far as the number of glyphs included etc.

Claude and Toto, Good to know. I'll just stick with it for the time being then.

That's good to know. I don't need one for Linux. Was just using it because it was free. Any recommendations for good starter programs other than Fontforge? I'm willing to pay, but don't wan't to spend hundreds.

Thanks! I'll take a look at that. I'm still doing a lot of reading on font design. Appreciate the input!

Okay, Thanks for the screen capture. I mistakenly assumed that the codes that showed in the blue box were codes that FF had automatically assigned to the characters. So once I figured out that was not the case, I inserted all the codes into the alternate encoding variations area, all is working just fine.

Thanks, for taking time to help!

Thanks for the reply.

I assigned it u+2019 and then in the alternate unicode encodings area I inserted the u+0027. Do I need to create duplicate glyphs and assign them individually?

But this is also having trouble with double quotes, too. I used u+201c and 201d for those. Correct?

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post a question like this, so if not, maybe someone could direct me to a better place to find an answer.

Here's my issue. I'm creating my first font. I designed the font in InkScape and then opened the .svg file in FontForge. Right now everything is looking good except for the single quotes and the double quotes. In Inkscape, I can only designate uncurled glyphs for these. So when I had the file open in Fontforge I just duplicated the images I'd made, flipped them around and then renamed the glyphs in the Element Glyph popup menu.

However when I install the font and start typing, every time I try to insert a ' or " or apostrophe Word kicks me out of my font and starts typing in either Currier New or Times New Roman. But when I highlight the text (including the ' and ") and change it back to my font name, the correct symbols that I designed show up.

I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Does anyone who designs fonts have any insight?
