Add a glyph without code-point
Add a glyph without code-point
In the picture, selected glyph has no code-point (as we can see in the glyph's properties and glyph overview panel) but it has a custom name and it is the combination/ligature for the two glyphs marked with ellipses. Both marked glyphs have code-points $0915 and $0937. The question is, how to add a glyph without code-point for ligature or composite, just with a custom name, like the selected glyph in the picture.

Re: Add a glyph without code-point
Within FontCreator, open the OpenType Designer. From there select the script that corresponds to the characters. If it is not available,m add it through the [+] toolbar button at the upper right.
Then select or add the Standard Ligature feature (liga). And then select or add a Ligature substitution. From there add a new item with the input characters and the output glyph.
And for Devanagari:

Re: Add a glyph without code-point
Your reply described the process or setting of ligature substitution. My question is how to add a glyph without code-point which I can edit or see in glyph overview panel and add that as a output glyph for the ligature in OpenType designer windows.

From the main menu, select Insert -> Glyphs. Then you can provide a glyph name.
