FontSilo font generation is really an exciting feature of iSiloX. Visual quality of fonts is excellent.

Unfortunately, there's no way to select font "Script" (set of chars) when generating new fonts.

FontBucket convertor has this ability with one real drawback - resulting fonts are huge in size and look shitty.

To iSiloX developers - PLEEEASE add this 'Script' subselection.

Screenshots of FontBucket and iSiloX 4.05 are below. FontBucket has got a script selector, iSiloX hasn't (yet).

Recently I've posted a message about generating FontSilo fonts with cyrillic characters...

There IS a solution.

You can download ready-made FontSilo fonts in 1251 encoding. At the moment there are 6 fonts there. Maybe they'll add more in the future.

The iSiloX for Windows 4.25 beta (http://www.isilox.com/info/beta/index.htm) has as one of the new features the ability to select the character set for the font, one of the available selections of which is Cyrillic (Windows-1251). You also need to use iSilo 4.25 beta (http://www.isilo.com/info/beta/index.htm) to be able to take advantage of fonts with the new character sets.
