No OpenType font file icon after generating font

Akhra

Hi.
I have a problem when generating OpenType font in FontLab 4.6 for Windows. After creating outlines and preparing OT features when I generate font it shows me TTF font file icon. As a test I take standard Windows OT font, import in FontLab, make no chages, generate as OT TTF font and the same result - TTF icon insted of “O” OpenType font icon.
But when I generate OTF (PS flavored) file everithing OK with icon.

Thanks

for TT flavored OTFs, you must have the font digitially “signed” for the O icon to be associated with the the font.
