Using "Find" option to move a group of Gylphs between Fonts?

Post by smain0204 »

I can enter a range. And I can enter a single character/glyph into the "Find" field.

How can I add a string of glyphs I wish to transfer from one font (royalty free) to another?

Example: 4f53, 4f55, 4fb5, 4fdd,

It appears to only initiate and find the search on one glyph at a time.

Thanks in advance if you can help me!!

The glyph transformer feature in version 10 (available in both standard and professional edition) allows you to select a range of glyphs based on their code points (or glyph names).

If you're using the latest Pro Edition of FontCreator 10, you can use the Glyph Transformation script Override Range by codepoint to select the glyphs for copying.

There may be other methods in Font Creator 7.5, but override range does not seem to select the glyphs.

I think you won't regret it. There have been many improvements since version 7.5, especially if you need to edit or add OpenType features. Check out the links in my signature for some help and an overview of the new features.
