Re: Trouble seeing characters in Private Use Area under Ubuntu

Your font, however has a nice unicode cmap and so does not have this funky conversion. So you want to generate code points in the 0xf0?? range for glyphs in the Petrucci font, and in the 0x00?? range for glyphs in your font. Or you could regenerate the Petrucci font to have a reasonable cmap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
