Procreate fonts not available in Unicode Character Viewer

I’ve imported several decorative fonts into Procreate that have glyphs of swishes and swirls etc. My online research recommended an app called Unicode Character Viewer, where the font glyphs can be easily copied and then pasted onto my text in Procreate, using the split screen. My problem is that the “new” fonts that I’ve installed in Procreate aren’t available when I browse the fonts in Unicode Character Viewer. Only the downloadable Apple fonts are available. Is there a way to ensure that new fonts I’ve installed in Procreate will also be available in UCV so I can copy and paste the fancy glyphs (for designing wedding invitations)?

PS An alternative to Unicode Character Viewer might be Ultra Character Map, which I have found useful in the past for such problems.

Also let us know the names/sources of one of the decorative fonts that is not working.

You need to contact the people who make those two apps. Neither are from Apple, and the chance than anyone else here has any experience with them is very small.

Are you able to use the font/characters in TextEdit? See if you find it in Format > Font > Show Fonts > All fonts.

Do you see the font in the Font Book app? If so, double click on it and see if you glyphs are the Repertoire section and whether you can copy paste them into an app.

Do the glyphs you want show up in Apple Character Viewer?
