Gujarati font problem

[juimhatre]

Hi All,
I have designed a Gujarati opentype font using Fontographer 4 on a macintosh machine, version 10.5.8, generated a TTF file of it and wrote the tables for that font using VOLT on a Windows machine. When I test the font in notepad, word on windows or openoffice in Linux, no positioning or substitution tables appear. But all these rules are working well when tested in the proofing tool of VOLT.

Can anyone please tell why is could be happening? Am I missing some thing in the process?
Thanks so much.

Are you sure that you've shipped your font using VOLT's File > Ship Font ?

Thank you for your response. I was not shipping the font before testing. I will try it.
Question: Doesn't shipping font mean just hiding the tables? Can you please tell what does the option 'ship font' do towards applying the tables while testing the font in any application?

Thanks again.

Shipping font shoud will not ake a difference comparing to font with VOLT project. It is only removing VOLT tables and removed debugging information form GSUB and GPOS.

Whcih Windows version you are using? Can you also check that you script and features tags are correct according to Indic shaping spec?

Thanks,
Sergey
