Re: [fontforge-announce] Merging Two Sets of Fonts

[Mike W. <mik...@gm...>]

Hi Judith,

For some reason I don't understand, your question about merging fonts came
into my inbox. I'm not a techy so don't know exactly what you mean but I
may have done something similar of late in editing a font to use certain
symbols I wanted to bring in for the purpose of music annotations. It was a
case of feeling my way along but ended up being much easier than I thought.
Anyway I used a free Mac app called FontForge and it was very intuitive,
though you do need to install XQuartz first. If you open a ttf font into
Font Forge you get basically a map of the keys and the symbols within and
can edit them by using copy and paste. So by opening up two fonts you can
shift symbols around to get what you're after. Very straightforward. The
file you end up with doesn't have the ttf suffix (I can't remember what it
is) but you can easily go on-line and find a converter. Rename the "new"
font and put it in the font folder. It should work with both Pages and
LibreOffice. I hope this helps.

Cheers
Mike
