I'm trying to find a free tool (on windows ) that would enable me to change some settings on a TrueType font. Specifically, I'm trying to fix the following errors:

E1311 The macStyle bold bit doesn't match the name table's font subfamily string macStyle bold bit is set, but subfamily is Regular

W2000 The subfamily string is inconsistent with the style of the font OS/2.fsSelection bold bit is set, but subfamily string = 'Regular'

I can do that with fontographer, but would prefer to use something free. Fontforge doesn't seem to work with this font, when saved it corrupts the cyrillic letters in the font.

You may try DoubleType which is an open source TrueType font editor.

There is also a small program called eudcedit.exe which may be of help. It's pre-installed with XP and can be run from Start > Run > eudcedit.exe.

Other than these and FontForge, I don't know any free font editing programs.

i've tried it but found no way to open a .ttf font – Robert Ivanc Jul 14 '10 at 9:43
Maybe eudcedit can help. – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Jul 14 '10 at 10:43
thanks, tried that too, but also can't open a .ttf font, can only link to it? – Robert Ivanc Jul 14 '10 at 15:19
Thanks for the answers, I guess this is the best there is. I went with a commercial product at the end. – Robert Ivanc Jul 19 '10 at 7:31
