Using private characters to customize Windows
Hello!
I've created a few characters with the Private Character Editor, which is part of Windows: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/privchar.htm Now I want to use these characters in Windows. Is that possible? Is it possible to reduce the width of the characters? Thimo |

Using private characters to customize Windows
Open charmap.exe (Character map from Accessories) and select the "all fonts-private characters" font. from the dropdown. You should see your characters listed. Copy to the clipboard and paste to the app. Since truetype is a kind of vector image, the size is determined by the app which uses the font, not by the font itself. "Thimo Gräf" wrote: Hello!
