I've added cyrillic characters to one of my opentype truetype fonts. This is my first time designing anything beyond Latin 1. How do I generate it in fontlab so that the cyrillic characters are included? These are the questions that I have:
in Font Info>
Encoding and Unicode> I already have 1252 Latin 1 and Macintosh Character Set added here, I'm guessing add 1251 Cyrillic?
What about the Microsoft Character Set drop down menu? Do I leave that Western (Latin 1)?
What about the Mac script and FOND ID drop down menu? Do I leave that as Roman?
in Font Info>
Encoding and Unicode> Custom [cmap] encodings> Do I add anything here?
in Font Info>
Encoding and Unicode> Unicode Ranges> I'm guessing I check Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement and then Cyrillic?
anything else I should change in the Font Info box?
In Options> Generating OpenType & TrueType> OpenType TT Encoding> Do I change anything here before generating the font to support Cyrillic?
What about Options> General Options> Unicode and OpenType?
Do I change anything else in Options?
When I start to generate the font:
I go to Codepages mode and at the top left hand corner near the Font Info box, in the next box it says Unicode (I'm guessing I leave that) and then the next box should say? MacOS Roman or MS Windows 1252 Western or MacOS Cyrillic or MS Windows 1251 Cyrillic? I want the font to be Western but support Cyrillic.
Anything else I should know before generating? Does anything change if the font is generated as Opentype Postscript?
Thanks for any help!
