I’m in the process of creating a CJK Kanji+kana font which includes the Latin alphabet. However, I think I screwed up my settings after I tested the first ideograph in it.
The “呂” (ryo) character (the only one I tested) displayed in MS word, so I must have my CJK settings right, but I also want Latin letters. Strangely enough, when I test it in FontCreator, I just see a bunch of boxes, even though I have all the letters, and Word doesn’t recognize my letters either (although it takes my ideographs just fine).
My settings:

I can’t think of anything else I changed except the mapping on my ideographs (they had to be inserted).
