I found that I would like to have a font that also allows access to the glyphs for the localizable sentences from the plane 0 Private Use Area. This is partly so that I can produce a pdf document using Serif PagePlus X3, (which is not the latest version of PagePlus) that does not access glyphs from plane 15 and partly because it may have been a step too far all at once to start with using plane 15 for experiments.
I have now produced the Localizable Sentences 010 font in file named LOCSE010.TTF.
This file adds copies of the glyphs of the 65 symbols thus far in use, mapping them into plane 0.
The mapping structure is to map a glyph originally mapped as U+F9xyz as U+Exyz, where each of x, y, z is here used to represent any chosen hexadecimal character.
For examples, the glyph mapped as U+F900E is now also mapped as U+E00E and the glyph mapped as U+F9022 is now also mapped as U+E022.
I have tested the font using Serif PagePlus X3 using Insert Symbol Other… and achieved good results. I found that using the Show Large Characters option within the Insert Symbol Other… facility was helpful.
Here is the font.

Hopefully the new mappings and the availability of this font will lead to more experimentation.
