Wow cool!!! I must ask: when you have a set of characters you made and saved, can they be backed up and reinstalled to your computer after having your computer wiped out?

The user created fonts will work only on the machine, they were created, unless you save them into a separate font-file and distribute it together with your document.
Could it be that the ‘migration’ is causing problems to the adding of fonts in the new machine?

I was able to migrate these private characters (I have hundreds of them) to another computer. But after that I was not able to add new private characters to file (EUDC) in the new computer. Anyone knows how?

Notepad? I don’t think I have mentioned that anywhere.If you mean that you don’t have PCE in your comp, then the only solution I think is to copy the .exe file from someone else’s folder and copy that into your …\Windows\System32\ folder. You can try that out though I am not sure it will work.

OK. I get the Private Character topic but how in the heck do I *easily* use the characters I create? I find that when I drag them into IE, they just show up as a box, even though I have the characters associated with all fonts.

If any knows how to make these accessible through an ALT+NNNN command PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!

What the hell? How long has that been there? I noticed it the other day when I was playing with Windows 7, but I had no idea it wasn’t new. Seriously, when was this introduced? XP? 2000? Not that I have any real use for this, but it’s cool to know its there.

Hi Tony,

Yes, as with all fonts this is a limitation. But it can be used as an embedded font in pdf files and xps (ie. Microsoft’s new electronic paper format)files.

I think that this has it’s uses, but as you said, if the character isn’t present on other computers, it’s only of use internally.

Wonderful!
Oh! why didn’t you let the world know about this earlier?
But, seriously, this is what I’d been asking a lot of people about. Thanks!
