Thanks for the sympathy, Dick! By the way, as you may already know, there is a font editor out there (FontLab) that allows very nicely for moving glyphs around, including ultra convenient drag-and-drop, as well as sorting by a variety of packaged sorts (various mappings, etc.) But, it is mega priced...

Thanks, Bhikkhu.
FYI, some of the links no longer work (at least for me...) -

Is there any information available that cross-references commercially (or privately) available fonts to specific unicode ranges or codepoints? For example, if I want to see an example of implementations of Unicode glyph number $xxxx (where xxxx is a somewhat unusual value, not in the standard Latin ...

How can a copy a glyph that involves composites? It seems that I always end up with a simple glyph when I am done (even using Special Paste), and have lost the composite structure.
Thanks

How can I rearrange the order of the glyphs (equivalent to assigning new glyph indices, I imagine...) so that I can organize them visually the way I want in the Glyph Overview Window? All I see is the standard "Sort" option. I even tried inserting new empty glyphs at the desired location a...
