Hi I'm new to fontlab and am having trouble getting to grips with the program. I am running the program on Mac OSX and am trying to create my own font to use add to my comic illustrations on Adobe Photoshop. I have created a new set of glyphs and am now trying to get the font to work on photoshop CS3. I have exported the file as a .ttf but when I test the font on the Text/ Edit program, the new letter glyphs simply show up as blank. Any suggestions?

This is what my fontlab screen looks like. The glyphs I have modified/ created appear white. I believe this may be because of absence of coding. I simply want to use these new letters as my typeset...

If this is a problem with the coding, what should I do to make the 'O' key on the keyboard come up as the 'O' I have entered in the glyph?

Three things that I can mention:
1. the font has name Untitled, this makes me think you have not filled all necessary Font Info fields
2. the 'space' glyph is absent
3. the font window is in Names mode whereas you should switch it to the Codepages mode (MacOS Roman codepage) before exporting ttf.
