Problem with Tabulator after Eve Asset Builder Update (Version 2.1.0)

[Simon]

Hello Bridgetek Community,

with the EAB 1.4.0 I converted fonts some months ago. In some screens I used the tabulator to save commands in the display list. This worked fine with the fonts I created at that time.
With an update of the EAB to version 2.1.0, the tabulator can no longer be displayed. Instead, a white box appears on the display.
After some research, I noticed that the tabulator is not even present in the font used, but until the update, it was still generated with in the EVE font. Since I would like to supplement the font, I would like to ask whether a checkbox can be inserted in the EAB, with which one can generate the tabulator again with into the font.
Possibly someone has a suggestion to circumvent the problem in another way?
I am looking forward to your feedback.

Hello,

Are you referring to the font metric block when you mention the 'tabulator'?

See below for an example font conversion from the latest version of EAB:

Code Select Expand

/*Command Line: fnt_cvt.exe -f legacy -C FT81X -i C:/Users/Public/Documents/EVE Asset Builder/Assets For Test/Generate Font Test/NotoSansCJKjp-Medium.otf -s 12 -d  1000 -c setfont -l 32 -r u0020-u007E -o C:/Users/xxxxxxx/Desktop/tab -O 1234*/

/*95 characters have been converted */

/* 148 Metric Block Begin +++  */
/*('file properties ', 'format ', 'L8', ' stride ', 12, ' width ', 12, 'height', 18)*/
{
/* Widths */
0,3,4,6,7,7,11,9,4,4,4,6,7,4,4,4,5,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,4,4,7,7,7,6,12,8,8,8,8,7,7,8,9,4,7,8,7,10,9,9,8,9,8,7,7,9,9,11,7,8,7,4,5,4,7,7,7,7,8,6,8,7,5,7,7,3,4,7,4,11,7,7,8,8,5,6,5,7,7,10,7,7,6,4,3,4,7,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,

Hello,

thank you very much for the answer. I am not so much referring to the Font Metrics block as to what I see in the display. Also in the co-generated .png file I see that instead of the tab a white box is generated. I have uploaded the .png file to this post. With the tabulator I mean the character with the hex code 0x09, but I think that is clear.
I can't find the output you embedded in your post in my generated files. Where can I find it?

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification.

If you select a 'full unicode' character set conversion the Tab character will be generated, I will ask the developers to see if they can include a button in EAB for Tab character inclusion into smaller character inoput sets.

The output in the above post was from the .rawh file output during a 'Legacy Format' conversion for L1-L8 fonts, this is not included in a ASTC conversion. however this same information is included in the .xfont file for an 'Extended Format' conversion.
