Consistent unicode across a range of weights

Nick Cooke

I am building a family and have six weights. Somehow the unicode is not consistent for all glyphs for all fonts.

I'm thinking of something like 'Paste Special' where you can select all glyphs, copy the unicode from one font and paste special to all other weights thus ensuring consistency.

Is there any way of making it the same for all fonts?

FontQA can help you making sure that all weights have the same character set by comparing glyph names. When your glyph names are the same, use "Glyph → Glyph Names → Generate unicode" in FL Studio to regenerate the unicodes, and they will also be the same in every weight.

Thanks Jens. I already sorted it.
