Hello!

I've created a few characters with the Private Character
Editor, which is part of Windows:

Now I want to use these characters in Windows.

Is that possible?

Is it possible to reduce the width of the characters?

Thimo

Open charmap.exe (Character map from Accessories) and select the "all
fonts-private characters" font. from the dropdown. You should see your
characters listed. Copy to the clipboard and paste to the app.

Since truetype is a kind of vector image, the size is determined by the app
which uses the font, not by the font itself.
