Need to change character positions within fonts

Cheers, Tom! I ran FontForge, it looks the job. Only, I feel I am out way beyond my league with it 😟

Two things I would like to ask, if I may:
1. If I somehow manage to remap the greek characters to their proper Unicode positions (which, by the way, right now are not being used), will not the text I then create be readable by any other Unicode system?

2. Where can I find a quick how-to in order to tell FontForge to shift the greek "A" in the offending fonts from its current, wrong, position (00C1) to the right one (0391)?

Thanks,
Alex.

I am trying to find the greek equivalent of the 'Architect' font. It's very similar to the UB (Unibrain) Fine font, but it's old technology. Since I haven't been able to locate the Unicode version of it, I am looking into converting the old one.

Will have a go with the copy-paste approach. If it doesn't work, I'll post back.

Many thanks, Tom. See you around.

I've embarked on the process of re-positioning all the greek characters from their current locations to their reserved spaces further down the font table.

After repositioning all the capital accented vowels, though, I saved (a copy) and tried to load the modified font in my Font Book, just to see if I was moving in the right direction. Unfortunately, the font doesn't load. I double click the modified copy, Font Book comes to the foreground but nothing happens. I launched Font Examiner, clicked on File>Open, pointed to the modified copy, the dialog requester went away and nothing happens.

I checked the file sizes: the original font is 56kB, the modified one 240kB.

I also noticed that the little rectangles above each cell in the font table change to yellow right after I paste the glyph from the previous (wrong) position. These yellow rectangles show as blue after the font file has been saved, closed and re-opened in FontForge.

EDIT: I also noticed that if instead of merely saving the file, I choose File>Generate Fonts... and then allow FontForge to guide me with its warnings, the file size dropped to 48kB, and the font was properly installed by Font Book!

Like I state above, font making is a serious business. To the extend necessary, I am willing to understand it and solve a few problems, though. I just need some guidance.

Any clues?

Many thanks, Tom. Like I state in my previous post, I 'Generated the font' instead of just saving a FontForge file, and it worked like a charm. Windows TTF. Brilliant.

And all by chance, after I had finished the conversion, I bumped across a Unicode version of the old font I had been converting. Typical...

Anyway, it's all done now. Thanks for your help.
