Character Map in MainType and CorelDraw
Can anyone help with this? My Character map does not display all the characters. Image 2 shows what MainType 9 shows and image 1 is what my CorelDraw shows. Clearly this font has more characters than what MainType is displaying.

Re: Character Map in MainType and CorelDraw
MainType shows exactly the number of characters in the font, but within CorelDraw you enabled an option to show all glyphs.
You can click the "Unicode" toolbar icon to show all glyphs, but unfortunately you won't be able to copy and paste them, as glyphs are not equal to characters.

Re: Character Map in MainType and CorelDraw
When you click the Unicode icon to display glyphs instead of characters, unmapped glyphs will be displayed as for the sfi glyph in my font.
In your font, several glyphs are unmapped alternative forms of A, B, C, etc. In CorelDraw, these extra glyphs can be displayed in CorelDraw by enabling Stylistic Sets or Swash Variants, depending on how they are encoded in your font.
