Question exporting fontself font and "OpenType-SVG" compatibility

If I install a coloured font in illustrator it works as a open type SVG font without problems, if i export is all colours are gone and the font is installed as a black font, how can i solve the problem?

Hi @verlinde

In case some people area also interested in that here is a copy of what I sent your via the chat.

If a color font is working in an app or computer system it’s because the color vector format “OpenType-SVG” is not yet supported everywhere.

:grinning: Illustrator CC 2018+ and Photoshop CC 2017+ are Adobe’s only apps that officially support & display color fonts (InDesign CC 2018 got unofficial support).

:disappointed: Illustrator CC 2017, Photoshop CC 2015 and older versions DO NOT support color fonts. In these apps, you will see a non-colored fallback version of the font (because Fontself includes 2 versions of your glyphs in the OpenType file, one colorful and another with black shapes for retro-compatibility).
