Yes this is entirely intended behavior, I found GM: Studio's behavior to rather counter intuitive if you will. It was also extremely buggy with setting the character ranges, so i decided to just limit each range to 1000 characters and let the user decide mostly for themselves. You're welcome to suggest changes to it to make it more intuitive.

I think it was Leonardo da Vinci who once said something along the lines of "If you build the robots, they will make games." or something to that effect.

If it's supposed to do that, then there must be a bug I guess, because it isn't working for me that way. Here's a screenshot of what I get: Until I press + and get a character range in the white box on the bottom-left corner the font file is completely unusable.

That was partially my doing and the code somewhat existed in the plugin for it, because it was assumed that no character range was a corrupt font. I see now that has changed, maybe we should stop doing that and no character ranges means no character ranges, but then, why would anyone want a font with no character ranges? It would be unusable, for anything.
So anyway, let me get this straight, you guys think that the range should be added when the font is created also? I can see doing that, it is necessary to click '+' for the initial range, though it won't change much because you likely have to use the preview button to generate the ranges anyway. But sure we can do that, if I remember I originally wanted that anyway but just got to lazy to make it add one.

I'm not going to do that, I'm just going to populate it with one the first time it is created Harri.
