However, I still can't get the effect I wanted. It won't take more than one character. That is, you can enter more than one character, but it will use just the first one. The font I am using has some interesting dots with a wide side bearing, e.g., Unicode F01F, among others. But the "custom" box won't take a Unicode character; that is, you can't insert it by typing its Unicode number.
