I have moved this discussion out of the Roundhead font collaboration thread so we can continue to discuss this here, as I think this is an interesting discussion but perhaps was taking the other thread off course.
Rather than having them as extra characters of an OTF which is not supported by Xara would be possible to map them to keyboard symbols that are usable in Xara programs?
Full support for open type fonts is something that has been asked for on the forums but I don't think we will be seeing it anytime soon, providing regular keyboard access, even if it has to be an Alt +numberpad code to these extra glyphs would be better IMO at least.
