Making a coloured .notdef glyph

FontCreator - Font Editor FontCreator - Support

I am trying to make a colour font that is legible on either a black background or a white background.

So I made the .notdef glyph using two extra colour layers, namely using a white filled square with a black shape upon it.

I exported the font and then realized that the 2nd glyph in the font is not .null.

So I went back to the project file and I decided to add the two extra glyphs after the exclamation mark instead.

However I cannot delete the original two extra glyphs as FontCreator reports an error as the glyph is in use by a coloured glyph.

Any ideas please?

I worked my way around the problem by deleting the .notdef glyph: the deletion of the two colour layer glyphs was then possible. I then copied a new .notdef cell from a new project and rebuilt the .notdef glyph in monochrome and then in colour.
