A fun problem

I've been designing an integrated typeface, with a serifed, italic, small caps, and sans, which I want to be able to access as a single font in my word processor as the regular, italic, bold, and bold italic, in that order. I've been unable to get my computer to even recognize that I have four diffe...

Of course! Remember how you increased the amount of space the letter "I" took up? Well, if you do the same thing to the space character, (the fourth glyph) then you will increase how large an area the word processor will allocate for a space. Right now, your space character seems to take u...
