I am a new to all this. I own the home edition. I have created a good number of fonts for a 2010 visual basic.NET program I am making, but have discovered that in the font I cannot view all the fonts I create. For instance almost all fonts are not visible from values 126-161, 164-168, 170-176 and many over 200. But as much as I can I would like to make a font which follows sequential numbers with no gaps. (I know there are issues with control keys, so I avoid these values.) I am attempting to import and dedicate the font into a single richtextbox. Are there values to avoid? What is the best range to work with in a visual basic program? Are there any settings I need to make in fontcreator or visual basic? My font calls for about 200 fonts or so to be installed. I do not care if I overwrite any normally reserved fonts with my values (except for fonts representing keys which are used by the system.) My fonts run from 33 to about 200. Is there a need for the settings “byte encoding”, “HIgh byte through table”, etc. in setting up the properties?
Unicode code points 0-31 (0x00-0x1F) and 127-160 (0x7F-0xA0) are not assigned to characters, but this affects all fonts.
See the official Unicode code charts for:
Basic Latin
Latin-1 Supplement
You can use all code points that are assigned to characters as defined in the Unicode 6.0 Character Code Charts.
Also, the Private Use Areas at U+E000..U+F8FF, U+F0000..U+FFFFD, and U+100000..U+10FFFD - a total of 137,468 code points - are always available for your pleasure.
