Hi,
I'm currently hinting a set of glyphs in a single FL file that will later become two fonts. (I'm doing this because both fonts will share many glyphs.) I noticed that when I'm decomposing a composite the TrueType hinting instructions are all gone.
Does anyone have an idea how to keep them when decomposing?
Thanks

When I decompose a glyph where the base glyph has TT instructions, then these instructions are all there in the decomposed glyph.
- glyph is made up of only one component: instructions are lost
- glyph is made up of more than one component: instructions are intact
Christoph: by "same" do you mean same as Martin (you see the bug in Windows) or same as Paul (you do not see the bug)?
I've tried various combinations and I found that TT instructions stay intact in the following cases:
- open glyph with multiple components, then decompose
- select glyph with single or multiple components in font window, then decompose
but they are lost in the following case:
- open glyph with single component, then decompose.
This at least is true most of the time! Switching the TT hinting mode on and off before decomposing and/or changing the glyph your viewing (using next and previous glyph) seems to have some effect on the "survival" of the instructions. I tried a lot, spent quite some time on this but I just could not establish a proper pattern.)
