Calendary Hands error
I was using Calendary Hands and got an error when I typed 2 lls in a row, such as in 'allow' or 2ts or 2fs. So, I opened a font editor to see if I could figure out what was wrong and erased the glyphs t_t, f_f, & l_l. It works right in word processors but on photoshop, and my pre-existing project, still same prob. Any help?

The 't_t, f_f, and l_l' glyphs are
kerning pairs. They're spaced a little differently, for when those letters are used consecutively in a word. You're supposed to use them
instead of typing the letter twice. You might as well download the font again, since your copy is now permanently fucked.
I don't think any errors in any fonts can be solved by erasing glyphs.
It works better than it did before. At least now it works in word processors, just not photoshop.

The double f, l and t are not kerning pairs but discretionary ligatures which only work in an open type version of the font with a script like this:
feature DiscretionaryLigatures dlig {
lookup dligSub;
}
lookup dligSub {
sub f f -> f_f;
sub l l -> l_l;
sub t t -> t_t;
}
But as this demo version is true type these three characters are not recognized and as they are not mapped they can not be used. With true type only the standard fi and fl ligatures are recognized.
I have tried the font in three different applications and have not encountered any problem whatsoever. So the problem is your side, not in the font.
I got it to work everywhere except photoshop by erasing those glyphs completely. Does anybody have any clue how to get it to work there?

Are we talking about the same thing? Are you using the demo ttf or an otf version?
I think ttf.
How do you mean 'I think'?
ttf
What is the error message?
'Could not complete your request because of a program error'. It only happen when I try to type those letters though such as in 'allow', the only way to type it is 'al low' with the space and if you delete it, same error occurs.
What happens with a double r, like in arrow?
No problem with double Rs. Just ls, ts, & fs.

I stand corrected.
