Copy paste in fontcreator 14

[frank]

Hello everyone
I would be very happy to get a solution.
When I copy a letter from one font and paste the letter in font B, how can I paste exactly where the letter in font B was?

Just paste it into the same glyph in the glyph overview.

I do not think this is possible. But instead of copying the letter, you can copy the glyph and paste it on the next font's glyph.

You can use the Paste Special feature from the Edit menu to copy outlines to a selected glyph.

I think I did not explain well.
I copy for example the letter M from font 1 and paste instead the letter M in font 2
but exactly the same place that was M in font 2.

This is what I want to do.

You should paste the glyph in the glyph overview; then the glyphs side-bearings will be copied too by default. You can use Paste Special to choose what to paste: e.g. glyph outlines only.

In my test, the glyph from the source font is pasted on the baseline, but the Caps Height is different between source and target fonts.

After pasting, the M glyph in the target font is replaced with the M glyph from the source font.
