Minimizing glyphs in Glyph Overview window

Post by franksacco »

Is it possible to minimize the amount of unwanted glyph cells in the glyph overview window (such as the greek alphabet) and other cells that one may never use? Also, what cells would one place alternate characters in to? Thanks, Frank. :D

Edit, Select incomplete, Delete, to remove unused glyphs.

For adding Alternative Characters, use Insert Character, select a font with loads of glyphs like MS Unicode Arial or Code 2000, then select the appropriate character. That will add the character with the appropriate mapping. If your alternate characters are unique symbols not found in other fonts, then use the Private Use Area as I have done here with my font "Garava" for stacking diacritics (accents). These glyphs have not been assigned a Unicode code point, so the font designer can use any unused code point from the Private Use Area.
