  • Hey man, I'm not very experienced with Illustrator, and I'm copying my glyphs over to FontLab and when they are pasted in, they only appear as outlines. They are filled in illustrator; solid black, with no stroke, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    Thanks again for the superb tutorial.

  • @PatchCornAdams721 Hey Patch, thanks for watching. It's important that all that shapes you want to copy from ILL to FL are expanded — either using pathfinder or object / expand (or expand appearance) from the top menu. Hope it helps.

  • @JoKKeSvin I have created an object, filled it, but when I got to expand it so I can Copy and Paste, nothing seems to happen. When I then copy and paste into FL from ILL (after expanding) all I get is an outline. Expand appearance is gray and I cannot select it. Any help? (From anyone?)

  • @jallenmorris1 Hey Jallen. Be sure to check you view settings in FL, to make sure it's set to not show outlines. I think that might be what's causing the problem.

  • in this tutorial in the red box its says (baseline = 0) but there is not baseline in the Font Info... does this matter... or is the u"underline" the baseline?

  • @mscharf16 It doesn't matter no. Actually I don't think you can adjust the baseline in FontLab.
