Hi,
I’ve added a new glyph and mapped it to Microsoft Unicode 0130 ( which is: [BREAK PERMITTED HERE]). When I try to display this glyph on the test window with ALT+0130, nothing is displayed.
How can I get the glyph to display on the test window.
T.i.a.

I think it should be mapped to
U+201A : SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
That’s decimal codepoint 8218 in General Punctuation. I can type the character in the sample window with Alter 0130, but Alter 8218 gives odd results: I get ¦ or ‚ alternately.
Hi Bhikkhu,
Thanx for the quick reply.
It works, but if I want to add more glyphs, how can I determine where it should be mapped to.

Babel Map is very helpful.
When mapping characters to Microsoft Unicode Platform, use the select option. Choose the character set first (top window), then the character below.
Open the text file UnicodeData.txt in C:\Program Files\High-Logic\Font Creator Program\Unicode for a list of names and character codepoints. Search for name if you know it.
Hi Bhikkhu,
Sorry to bother you again, but I am still struggling with this.
Is there some kind of table which says when you press ALT+0130 the character that will be displayed is actually U+201A?
I can’t figure this out with the babelmap tool.
What I’m actually trying to do here, is create a number of glyphs that can be displayed by pressing ALT+0130 through ALT+159.
thanx

** Keep in mind Word has a feature called AutoFormat that automatically replaces characters, like “Straight Quotes” with “Smart Quotes”. For example when you type ALT-0130 you should get
$201A - SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
but AutoFormat will replace that character with
$2018 - LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
