Hello, trying to install this font in Windows doesn't seem to be working, whereas Tamsyn is fine. Any idea what's going on?

Which file format did you install? And how did you install it?

The .fon files. Just dragged them into the font folder

I was able to open the 10x20 .fon files in Windows 7 by double-clicking them:

Pressing the "install" button seems to have succeeded. But afterwards, I don't see "Tamzen" in Notepad's font selection dialog:

Next I tried dragging & dropping the .fon files into the Windows fonts folder and saw this:

Why has Windows categorized these 10x20 .fon files under codepage 8514 and under size 12? Perhaps that strange categorization makes them unavailable in the Windows font selector? ๐Ÿ™€ sigh I simply don't know. ๐Ÿ˜“ What do you think? ๐Ÿ˜…

No idea. Like I said, Tamsyn seems to work fine, so it's got to be something that Tamzen changes.

Do the .FNT files work?

@zovt Nice tip! Yes, the .fnt files worked! ๐ŸŽ‰ However, Windows 7 installs them all under the same name, effectively giving us only one font size. ๐Ÿ˜“ I'll need to update the FontForge automation to embed unique font names for each .fnt file so that Windows 7 won't club them all together like this. ๐Ÿ‘ท

Fixed now in commit 07551bc and verified under Windows 7. ๐ŸŽ
