omar

hi everyone,

i have a litl question about how to make extra glypsh in fontlab

i have drawn 2 types of paragraph symbols and also an alternate capital Q now i would like to have both of them in the font.

could someone maybe tell me how to make new glyphs for these, don't know if this is to anny use but i'm working in MACOSroman mode

thank you kindly for the help

Command G
Name your glyphs "paragraph.alt" and Q.alt"

They will now be available to users in the glyph palette.

Also:

Create a Stylistic Set.

sub paragraph by paragraph.alt;
sub Q by Q.alt;

This will work if you generate ".otf" fonts, and be available to users in the OT features palette.

Nick, sorry but i don't really got that last part for creating a stylistic set

" sub paragraph by paragraph.alt;
sub Q by Q.alt; "

an one more last question maybe..when i do Command G, should i select/deselect "create glyphs even if they exist or select/deselect "mark new glyphs...

kind regards
