Hello, I created a new glyph (ţ) using the existing t and the comma within a font. But when I used it in Illustrator, the connection between the glyph I created and the previous character doesn't look similar to the one between t and the same previous character. Is there a setting I could change in order to maintain the same appearance? (I'm using the free version) P.S. I attached an image to show you what I mean. ![]()  |

It's not really possible to see what is causing this from the picture.
If you want to send me your font (both modified and unmodified versions) to allanmurray@cr8software.net, I will have a look at it.

This font contains two sets of characters - ones with tails to link to the next character, and ones without (to be used at the end of words). It also has a complex set of OpenType features so that the characters with the tails are only used if they appear before certain other characters. The OpenType features are not aware of the new 't' character that you have created, so the 'l' without the tail is being substituted. If you turn off the Standard Ligatures OpenType feature in Illustrator (the fi button), then you will get the correct output:  |

Thank you again for your support. Just out of curiosity: did you use type light to be able to tell all that about the font, or did you use some other software?

I deducted what was going on by the results in Illustrator, and then examined the OpenType features visually in a free tool called DTL OTMaster Light www.fontmaster.nl/ (I used the GPOS/GSUB Table viewer on the tools menu). |
