Sorry if it is an answerd question but I’m new to editing and my English is a little bad.
I would like to edit an existing font by adding 2 new charactes. One Is the “Ű” and the other is the “Ő”.
What I was trying is open the ttf than right click add new than I copied an existing character and pasted it in the new box than double clicked it to edit and after this I dont know what to do.
The question is how can I map it to the Ű or Ő key on the keyboard? and that is the name of the char important or can i add anything for name?
This is easier in the Professional Edition with Insert Character, but I will assume that you only have the Home Edition of FontCreator:
First, add the mappings — for O double acute it is 150 hex or 336 decimal.
Reopen the glyph properties dialogue, and on the General tab of the dialogue, click on Generate name to add the postscript name, which is Ohungarumlaut. It doesn’t have to be that, you could call it “Odoubleacute” if you prefer, but it is better to use standard naming conventions.
For U double acute the mapping is 170 hex or 368 decimal and 171 or 369 for lowercase. The postscript name is “Uhungarumlaut”
Typing these extended characters is under the control of Windows or your wordprocessor, not FontCreator. Use a customised Windows international keyboard, a Hungarian keyboard, or a Wordprocessor shortcut. If all else fails, try holding down the Alt key and typing the decimal code-point 0336, 0368, etc.
My PagePlus Keyboard for Windows, can be used to type a wide range of accented characters using dead keys. The dead key for double acute (Hungarian umlaut) is Ctrl + Alt + Shift + 2 i.e. Ctrl Alt "), followed by the appropriate vowel to type ŰŐ etc.
Thank you for helping me out.
Yes, I have the Home version and actually I have Hungarian keyboard becouse I’m from Hungary and that’s why I need those characters.
If I stuck somewhere I will come back but your description is very understandable.
and that’s why I need those characters.
