extraction of unicode code point from highlighted glyphs

I have problem from copying a set of glyphs from A fonts set to B fonts set. If I could not extract out the unicode code points from the highlighted glyphs of B fonts set. I need to type them in one by one to do the extraction of glyphs from A fonts set. How can I do it without typing in the code points one by one?
cheers

Do take a look at Paste Special in the manual.

Use Paste Special from the Edit menu.

Make sure that the glyphs are in the same order in both fonts. You can sort fonts by codepoint from the Tools menu.

Hi Bhikkhu,
Thank for attending to my request.
I like to point out that i need the code points and not the glyphs.
Just a string of code points.

  1. Copy the glyphs from font A
  2. Insert the same number of new glyphs in font B
  3. Paste special, Glyph Name and Code-points

I think I have come into a wrong place
I believe the feature is not there.
Shall I ask for a new feature from support?
I have used paste special for 4 years and i know powerful it is.

If you add a Feature Request we may have the same problem of understanding what you’re requesting.

In your first post you said:

I have problem from copying a set of glyphs from A fonts set to B fonts set. If I could not extract out the unicode code points from the highlighted glyphs of B fonts set.

We have described how to do this.

Hi Bhikkhu,
Thank for the advice.
Just to clarify my need.
We use a string of code points in the FIND to display a matrix of glyphs if the glyphs were in the font set.
If I tagged or highlighted some of the glyphs in the matrix of glyphs and i wish to get the code points only of those tagged glyphs, what should I do?
I just need to extract the code points in a form of text string from the matrix of glyphs. (a reverse of FIND function). I hope I have make my point clear. Please ignore the confusing statement I made before.

Yes, but why do you need a list of code-points to copy a set of glyphs from font A to font B? Why not just add new glyphs and paste special?

Have a look at using a transform script to select glyphs by glyphnames, instead of code-points.
