Afterwards you insert the character number of the character in the new
font you wish to create.
2. New Character
Insert the number of the new character you wish to insert into your
currently edited font in the following dialog box.

Before a new ik character can be
created, first a new ik font has to be
generated.
After a new ik font is generated, a
new ik character can be created.
tip: Instead of generating
a new character by
entering the appropiate be
number, the Font Administration
tool from the View menu can be
used. Double clicking with the
mouse on a cell of a particular
codepage will open the character
and add the ik number to the
database accordingly.
After a character number has been
defined, a new slot in the Character
List Window is generated.
