A new learning curve for me here

[Mark321]

Hi everybody,

I'm on a mission to use a font in XDP and the characters (glyphs?) I wish to use is in the "Private Use Area". I'm trying to use these characters but the "try and figure it out" phase just ain't working for me. I've even tried the "copy to clipboard and paste" trick but I'm having a devil of a time figuring out just how to make that work (wish I knew how to just type the character without all the "copy and paste" stuff. And by the way, when I do the "copy and paste" trick, XDP lets me choose between Rich Format Text or HTML Placeholders (I have no clue which one to choose) and the best results that I get is a tiny little character on the HUGE white background (WHAT THE HECK?!). I can use the transparency tool and use the "Stain Glass" thingy but I still have this HUGE green box (looks like a text box to me).

Anyone here knows what I am going through (heluva learning curve)?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Mark

P.S...I have NO trouble doing this in Word 2016 but I just can't do it in Xara Designer Pro
