    • FontConverter fails trying to create "Noto Sans light" bitmap font

      Hi,

      i'am trying to generate a bitmap font file using "Noto Sans light" as input.
      The Font-Converter fails on creating a font and displays the error message: "An extended font file requires a true type or an open type font. The selected font is not such a font".

      On windows font dialog (double-click on NotoSans-Light.ttf) the light font file gets recognized as a OpenType-font.
      On using "Noto Sans Regular" everything works fine.

      I'am using FontConverter V5.3 and also tried V5.44 as demo, always with same result.


      thanks for any support
      best regards

      addition:
      Used options: type: "Extended", encoding: 16 Bit Unicode, font: "Noto Sans", style: "light", size: 12
      (for font size(s) above 12pt's font converter is able to generate the font file)

    • Hi,

      I gave it a try. I experienced the same as you did, but only a few times. Most of the time it was working. We will inverstigate what might causes this.

      Please try to create a different font first (just within the FontConverter, no need to save it) and then create the desired font.

      Regards,
      Sven

    • Hi,

      i tested the behavior on other machines.

      Using another windows 7 machine the first try succeeds. All other tries result in same error behavior, until restart of Font Converter.
      Using another windows 10 machine everything works fine.
      - strange behavior -

      (at the momment we use the win10 machine to get on with font generation)
