Is there a specific SHP/SHX, de/compiler or method we should use to create / edit fonts? I am getting weird results doing the following just trying to round trip a font without editing it yet. Looks like it's mostly some sort of line feed/return glitch. Thanks for any help.

Current method used:
:arrow: Decompile v.12 ARCWY2GP.SHX using SHX2SHP v.4
:arrow: Recompile to ARCWY2GP.CHR using SHP2CHR v.5
:arrow: Placing ARCWY2GP.CHR in the Datacad 12 font folder to allow Datacad 12 to recompile the font back to SHX.
