Insert... Confusion
Posted: Tue Apr 25, 2017 7:46 am
I'm confused.
So I'm working on my blackletter font (which has turned into a major research project -- ugh!), which had an alternate "r" character, and I just discovered that there's actually a name for that -- R-rotunda. Apart from a bunch of ligatures that I've made that make use of it, I had also plopped that character on it's own into my PUA, too, but now learn that there's actually a unicode slot for it, namely, uniA75B.
So naturally I figured I should get it right, and move that single character over to where it belongs.
So I go Insert -> Character, add in $A75B, and it adds in that slot, but it adds it to the end of all my glyphs, after all my PUA characters -- at least, that's where it ends up if I'm looking at my entire font. If I go under just Latin Extended-D (which is where that belongs) then I see it in there, but if I'm looking at the whole shebang, under "Glyphs," then it's at the very end.
Does this matter? I don't know, but it just bugs me that now I have everything "in order," except for that one stupid character/glyph. Did I do something wrong when inserting the character in the first place?
Here's what/where/how I see what I'm seeing, with that R-rotunda added in at the end -- just doesn't seem right to me...
