Glyphs multiple times in glyph list

[stefan]

Hello there, me again

There is another issue, which confuses me: I have "designed" a few versions of one glyph. Funnily enough each of these versions appear in the "glyph list" (even though some have been removed from the code pages). As I can only remove glyphs from the end of the list, I'm not quite sure how to remove the redundant ones.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The glyph list is a complete list of all glyphs in your font, mapped and unmapped.
When you view code pages or unicode scripts you are only seeing mapped glyphs.
(mapped glyph = glyph that has been assigned to a unicode character).

So the glyph list contains "anything that has ever been done"? This would imply that I only have 50 attempts of creating my font, before the 50 (demo version) slots are filled?

I have read the thread and tried once more to remove those redundant glyphs... without success.

Maybe an image will better explain my problem...


Hoping for any help!

The glyph list does not contain "anything that has ever been done", it just contains all glyphs, whether they are mapped or not.

Simply use some the unmapped glyph slots for other characters.

Eg. Glyph 23 is the glyph you are using for the 'i' character. Glyphs 16 to 20 are your other versions of 'i' that you no longer want - so use those glyph slots for other new characters. Select glyph 16, then use clear glyph from the glyph menu. Now use that glyph slot for something else (eg for 'j' and map it to the 'j' character).
