| This has annoyed me for some time. Windows 98 has support for Uni-code, but the stupid Character Map program only shows the 0000-00FF range of characters. This is a pain in the rear imho.
To solve the problem, take a look at some of the tools at:
http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/utilities_fonts.html
One of special note are Delphi's free viewer, which gives you a nice 'big' version of the letter to look at, so you don't have to use the magnifier feature for disabled persons to actually see them. ;) lol
NOTE: 2000 and I assume ME, XP, etc. all have an updated version of the original Character Map, but I am not sure how well it works. Yes, amazing isn't it, MS actually upgraded one of its basic utilities that get installed with the OS. lol
Another to look at is TTFDump and some similar tools that it comes with from MS. Not sure what help that tool actually is, but used along with High Logic's Font Creator program (sadly not a free utitility) from www.high-logic.com it may help to learn how to design and edit them. At the very least, it may provide a way to see if one is broken when trying to use it with something like POVRay, which is far more picky that windows built in font management about whether or not the font is designed properly. Since it using the data to build 3D extrusions of the letters, this is not a big surprise. ;) | | Top |
