How to copy a glyph from one font to another

[Rich]

How do I copy a glyph from one font to another? For example I wan to take the number 7 from an Arial Narrow TTF font file and copy it to my own TTF font file or to replace the 7 in another font file. I tried opening each font file in two seperate instances of Typelite but I can't copy and past between them.

Thanks.

Open the font that you want to add glyphs to.
On the mapping window, click on the small down arrow and select add external font. Select the font that you want to add glyphs from.
The glyphs of the font will now appear in the mapping window.

You can right click glyphs and select various options: copy to clipboard, transfer to font (adds glyph to current font), transfer and map (adds glyph to current font and maps it) etc.

Thanks for your help. I followed your steps but the drop down does not have an add external font option. It only lists...

Code Pages
Unicode scripts
Glyph List
Add Bookmark
Remove bookmark (but it is grayed out)

Am I doing something wrong still or is it the version of Typelight version 3.2?

Thanks again!

Yes, sorry - this function is not available on the light (free) version.
