I just downloaded the Type light 3.0 program and have not actually tried to create a font yet. So far, it looks like it is exactly what I am looking for (and very well done!)
Perhaps this is a silly question (I know very little about font design, etc.). I want to modify a font and replace a character I don't want displayed with a zero width character, if that is possible.
Is the answer as simple as "use glyph #1"? I'm not sure, but it looks like it has a zero width.
If not, is there an available glyph for the "zero width no-break space" (U+FEFF) or the "word joiner" (U+2060) unicode characters in a commonly available font I can use as an example?
I found a reference saying that DejaVuSerif contained them, but when I looked inside a copy of that font taken from the Windows Fonts folder, I couldn't seem to find either of the characters.
Thanks.
