"Supported Codepages" dialog box for Cyrillic fonts

Ramiro Espinoza

Hi there,

Can you tell me if I am filling the following dialog box correctly for a (standad, not extended) Cyrillic font.

Thanks in advance.

Are you creating OpenTypes? In those cases I have always set the MS Character Set to “Western”, and the Mac script to “Roman”.
If you are creating PostScript Type 1 fonts on the other hand, then those settings probably need to be different depending on the platform you’re targetting.

Hi Paul. Thanks! Yes, they are going to be OT. What about "Available codepages"? Is it OK like that or should I add also "1252 Latin 1"?

If your characterset supports Latin-1 then that would make sense. The green diamond here is actually one of the very few green diamonds that I trust.
