I'm using windows 10 FontForge version (in screencap) I'm using reference copying ('cause I have special accents) but even when I tried just copy-pasting it still does the same thing. I've tried to place it onto other characters (for instance chinese characters) but then it puts in the built in unicode char rather than the glyph. I've tried adding new glyphs that are not represented by the abc but when I try to use the glyph (using unicode to insert it in my document) It does nothing. I'm building a conlang font which doesn't "belong" to any language set.

Do not simply install it with the original still there, because Scribus will invariably only load just one version of the font at a time. Now all that remains to be done is uninstalling the previous installed font and replace it with the new one. If your original font was a PostScript or TrueType, do not worry since OpenType can use both vector formats. I personally always use the OpenType CFF type, so I cannot tell about other types. In the dialog, enter the desired name, I personally use the original name and add “_EDITED” just before the extension. To export your font use File, Generate Fonts. This might be handy for future addings/changes to the font. If you wish to further edit the file after a close, go to the File menu, and select Save As.

You move it to 500 because this character, the EN space, is M/2, where M=1000, thus 1000/2. There is a vertical line, the green one in this image, that by default should be located to 1000 and be black. Now, double-click on it, it should open a new window. The highlighted character currently has an red cross in it, indicating that this character is not currently included in the font. The text in red displays the current characted selected, in this case the 2002. I will explain what is what in this image. Now, the Unicode character 2002, which is the EN space, should be selected. If your imported font is not using Unicode encoding, I suggest you re-encode it with Encoding, then Reencode and finally select any of both Unicode format, BMP will do for most uses. You might get some warnings at opening, this is generally not important and should work very well anyway. Locate the one you will be editing and click Okay. By default, the application will ask you to open your font file. Now that you have done this, launch FontForge. While FontForge doesn’t edit font files directly, I wouldn’t take any chance overwriting by error my precious fonts when exporting the fresly edited font.

Please make sure that your font license allows modifications, don’t assume they do because it’s really not the case. To begin with, you will need a font file and (in this case solely but not limited to) the FontForge editor, which is available under most platforms and is free. In this case, I will be editing one of my favourite: Caecilia Roman by Linotype. I write this guide with the intent of showing you how to edit your fonts to make use of these features possible. You might have found yourself using fonts that, sadly, do not support those characters.
