There's nothing to stop you doing that now. Just insert a few empty glyphs after the mapped glyph and store the (unmapped) glyph variants there. You can easily strip out all the unwanted glyph variants later by Font, Sort Glyphs. All of the unmapped glyphs will be moved to the end of the font. Take ...

If you're creating a new alphabet, and need to type in the normal way, then you're better off to map them to the alpha-numeric characters in the Latin Basic range A-z. Forget about the Private Use Area until you come to creating ligatures. Take a look at some other fonts, such as Myriad Pro or some ...

This is very, very interesting, Bhikkhu. This should be referenced in the manual. It is referenced in the tutorial Using Glyph Transformations . This level of detail is not really needed in the manual. It is only relevant for users of the professional edition. This is what the manual says: Info: If...

That's interesting. In the Professional eidtion, no mapping is added if I insert a glyph. Right-click on the glyph and select properties, or use the shortcut Alter Enter to bring up the glyph properties dialogue. On the mappings tab, enter E000 in the Value field, and click on Add. You can remove th...

That is a good point. Anyone making multi-lingual fonts should be using FontCreator, not Scanahand, so the most that anyone will need to fill in will be about 40 extra glyphs. I suppose the thing to do would be to make sure that the premium edition supports every language of users who have purchased...

I thought that since you already have the code for FontCreator, it wouldn't be as hard to reuse it as to write new code — that proves how little I know about programming. If users don't know how to draw accents, then they won't know how to draw accented glyphs either. You already have the means to t...

Drawing each accented glyph separately is too much work for the user and makes it too difficult to get the base glyphs to match. Composites should be composed from base glyph + accent, then only the accents need to be drawn. The following accents are needed to cover most languages. (Source: Letter D...

How did you create your new symbol font? From your screenshot posted above it seems that the empty glyphs don't have any postscript names and perhaps also have no mappings. You should not need to add postscript names or mappings, they should be already there when you create a new symbol font. All yo...
