Fontforge Help with Glyphs

May 30, 2014 at 11:25

Hi all - I'm struggling to get my extra glyphs to work in Fontforge :( They show up in the glyphs table in Fontexplorer when I view the installed font, but when I open up the glyphs table in Illustrator - onnly one glyph - the first one is there ...Any ideas? I followed tese directions for adding extra glyphs :

How do I add a glyph with a new name?
Let's say you wanted to add a "dotlessi" glyph to an ISO-8859-1 font (this encoding does not include dotlessi). There are two ways to approach the problem:
Bring up Encoding->Add Encoding Slots...
Type in the number of extra glyphs you want (probably 1)
Press OK
Scroll down to the end of the font and find the new slot
Select it
Bring up Element->Glyph Info
Type your new name into the Unicode Name field (in this example you'd type in dotlessi)
Press the Set From Name button
Press OK
Now draw a dotlessi in the glyph.
