fsSelection field error.

Ramiro Espinoza

Hi there:

I am generating TTF fonts for a a type family of 4 weights:

XXX Light
XXX Regular
XXX Bold
XXX Black

When I test the generated fonts with MS Font ValidatorI get OS/2 errors:

’E2100A > bit in the fsSelection field doesn’t match the name table’s font subfamily string > fsSelection regular bit is set, but subfamily is Light’

(I get the message in every weight except, obviously, in regular)

I do not know how to fix that.

I did the font naming following the instructions in the Fontlab Forum:
http://groups.msn.com/fontlab/tipsandtricks.msnw?action=get_message&mvie...

How can I access this field in Fontlab?

Thanks in advance.

It’s the Italic/Bold checkboxes on the first page of the FontInfo dialog.
