Hi,
I'm using FontForge to build a CJK font that involves substituting single glyphs (both English and Korean) with entire blocks of English letters such as:

- "A as in aye"
- "B as in bee"
- "C as in cite"
- "D as in djinn"
- "E as in eye"
- ...etc...

Am able to do so manually via UI Drawing Tool:

- delete all points from original glyph
- use Pen Tool to create a horizontal line
- Element > Insert Text Outline...
- type in alternate word (eg "AYE") > Insert
- repeat for all glyphs

However I need to do this for a large number of glyphs so want to do via script.
Problem is I can't find any scripting automation call that corresponds to "Insert Text Outline"

Any suggestions on how to get past this problem?

Thanks!
