Re: [ft] Private characters handling

[HK]

Hi,
I mean *.tte files created by "eudcedit" tool in Windows.
My goal is to support Gaiji in some form.
As tte is a "normal" ttf file there should be no problem.
If an user wants to use gaiji characters in my app, he should define his 
glyphs using eucedit and choose own codes in PUA for them. Then in the app, 
he can use these characters by choosing his tte font and putting proper 
codes. Am I right?
Thanks and regards,
Hubert
