Insert Characters in conjunction with Complete Composites allows you to add a wide range of accented characters to an existing font within minutes.

Note: these advanced features are not available in the Home Edition of Font Creator.

To add the Latin character sets, essential diacritics, and general punctuation in one go, select Characters from the Insert menu and copy and paste the data below into the edit field located at the bottom of the Insert Characters window:
699, 700, 702, 710-717, 728-733, 759, 777, 783, 785, 795, 803-806, 813-818, 821-823, 161-255, 256-383, 416, 417, 431, 432, 398, 399, 407, 410, 437, 438, 461-566, 7680-7835, 7840-7929, 8194-8203, 8208-8231, 8240-8275

When you click the OK button, new glyphs with the mappings and postscript names for all of these new characters will be added at the end of your font. Select all of these new characters (or select all characters with CTRL-A), right-click, and select Complete Composites. If some composites are still empty or incomplete, check for empty or missing diacritics. If you later create these diacritics, any half completed composites will fill. The diacritics are intentionally listed first so that they will be composed before they are needed.

This was the last step of the tutorial, hope you liked it. Please let me know when things aren't clear through the Contact Us page.
