how to create an "image letter" using Font Forge?

[shantiq]

\hi guys i require specialist knowledge with FONT FORGE here to create an image I can use from a font which will remain wherever i place it



all of these here [i got from insert special characters in Wingdings and Ume Gothic P] can be put in any text or a folder file name and remain there on any platform [u can copy and paste them anywhere you wish exactly as they are]


♥ ☛ ☚ ☎ ☂ ✪ ✭ ✟ ☮ ☯ ☥ ☪ ●


now i have designed an image of a trumpet as a png and an svg


228792 needs opening in inkscape to see



228794


and i want this to be usable in the same way as the symbols above


It is simple to replace any font key with an image and then use it with libre office but unlike those above it does not remain wherever it goes



So my question is what must i do to make this happen ie it stays even if the computer does not have font that originated it [like the symbols above]


i think it must have to do with the settings when you create the font or even just glyph settings


this is what it looks like on my page at the moment [screenshot]

so i am calling on the knowledgeable Font designers among you ...

You can't have it both ways... either it's an image/clipart and it is made part of the document, or it is a character in a font and the users of your document need to have the font (in some way a font is just a predefined collection of cliparts...).

There are some document formats which can embed some fonts (PDF, IIRC).
