Hi Alex, Thanks for your test !
I have installed Fontforge, loaded the font, mapped some glyphs (yes those at the bottom) with Latin Extended B using "Glyph info", generate the fonts (Truetype .ttf), but no help. If I use shift+ctrl+u, I still see the Latin Extended B characters ... Did you manage to do it on your side ? Thanks ! Vincent >Okay, so I grabbed the file and opened it in FontForge.
