Hello.
I am looking for the best way to encode a symbol font that would be easily accessible in Windows.
Would it be a good idea for example to follow the encoding structure used for the microsoft symbol font wingdings (is it ASCII?) ?
You can just use the normal glyph slots for you symbols. But then Office will use those to render then font menu and you can’t read it then. You could use normal glyph for the letters needed to write the font name.
To make a proper MS symbol font is tricky. It involves several steps with are not all possible in Glyphs directly. And I don’t remember all of them.
