Abstract
A computer-implemented method of combining fonts. A first plurality of glyphs from a first font and a second plurality of glyphs from a second font are copied into a combined font, each glyph in the combined font being assigned a unique identification code. A mapping is generated of a first plurality of code points in an encoding scheme to the identification codes of the first plurality of glyphs in the combined font, and a substitution feature is generated in the combined font that can substitute at least one of the first plurality of glyphs in the combined font with at least one of the second plurality of glyphs in the combined font.
