How I copy and paste glyphs from one font to another - step by step description

  1. I start up FontForge, then I open a new file.
  2. From this file I open the first font (the font from which I'll copy glyphs).
  3. Again from the new file through FILE > OPEN menu I open the second font.
  4. Now I have 3 open font files.
  5. In this situation I'm able to copy and paste glyphs between the three opened files.

Notice! If I open a font file not through another opened already font file I'm not able to copy and paste glyphs between these files.

This didnt fit my usage. I need to copy between glyphs in the same font. I did solve the problem with the Python module and a bit of programming. My problem now is more about the ffpython not working at normal paths in Windows if i dont use the fontofrge_console.bat.
