Carian characters not displaying on KLC

Hi, the Carian characters I recently uploaded from your site display as square boxes on Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4, somehow it does not recognize them. The characters have no display issue when I type them on the Internet or on software like Discord, what might be the reason for the issue with KLC?

Welcome Onur!

We do not have an MSKLC keyboard for Carian. Are you talking about the Keyman keyboard here? Carian keyboard

The Carian script is fairly obscure and ancient, so I suspect you are running into a font issue with some applications not supporting the font. You do need to have a font installed in order to see the script on your local applications. In addition, on a mobile device the only place the font will work is within the the Keyman application. It’s unlikely to display system-wide. This is not a bug in Keyman, it’s just because the script is not widely supported. The font that is distributed with this keyboard is called “Catrinity”.

Thank you very much Lorna. Now the problem is settled once I changed the font to Catrinity on MSKLC, the Carian characters display with no issue on MSKLC when the font is set to Catrinity on MSKLC. Thanks.
