ASCII characters beyond 127

Really great utility but would be even more powerful if one could also convert Fonts beyond ASCII 127 to address Special characters like "€" or "°"

Hi, the 32-126 ASCII range is included by default as you import the font, but then you're free to add your own characters from outside the ASCII range.
Read more on how to access them in code in this blog post.

Hi, thanx for your response. I am aware of the possibility to add custom glyphs however the problem I have is that I need to add special characters in the range of ASCII 180 etc and they have to be stored at the right position inside the C-Array so that they can be addressed by ASCII number. So with fontedit I had to add "blind" characters starting from 128 .. 180 just to bring my special characters at the right position. It would be much easier to convert thecomplete ASCII range up to 256 including characters like ö, ä, ü etc.

Okay, that's a fair point. I will plan it for one of the upcoming releases. Will keep you posted in this thread.

This would also be useful for me, I tried adding the "£" character but I cannot access it via the suggested "\x7f" encoding because I'm using Java/Kotlin, and that's an invalid encoding.
