Does anyone use Private Character Editor?

[Thimo Gräf]

Hi,

Private Character Editor is a program that is part of Windows XP,
Vista and Windows 7.

It can be launched by "Run" - "eudcedit.exe" on XP and Vista and is,
AFAIK, part of the system tools on Windows 7.

Does anyone work with this program?

I'm having a problem with this tool. Usually, you do design your
fonts, save them and link them to one or more fonts. The new
characters can be accessed via character map, where you can select the
font with the private characters in it.

I've tried this on several machines and it works fine on Windows XP
and Vista Ultimate 32 Bit.

But on Vista Ultimate 64 Bit, the fonts with private characters are
not present in character map, although I've saved them.I've tried to
link them to single fonts, I've tried to link them to all fonts,
nothing does work.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

I found a solution. You can access the private characters with ALT
+Unicode (on the keypad).

Since the new characters are stored at $E000 and following, they can
be accessed by
pressing ALT and typing 57344 (decimal for $E000) or 57345 for $E001,
57346 for $E002 and
so on.
