Customize characters in a composite font

  1. Choose Type > Composite Fonts. If you don’t see this command, select Show Asian Options in the Type preferences.
  2. Click Custom in the Composite Font dialog box.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • If you’ve previously saved custom character sets, select the set you want to edit.

    • To create a new custom set, click New, enter a name for the character set, and click OK. If there are existing custom sets, you can also choose a set on which to base the new set.

  4. Do any of the following:
    • To add a character directly, choose Direct Entry from the Character pop‑up menu, enter the characters in the text box, and click Add.

    • To add a character using a code, choose an encoding type from the Character pop‑up menu, enter the code and click Add.

      Note: You cannot add 32‑bit characters to a custom set.
    • To delete a character, select it in the list box, and click Delete.

  5. When you’ve finished customizing the character set, click Save, and then click OK.
    Note: When there are several custom characters in one composite font, the bottom set takes precedence over all the above sets.
