  6. Edit the glyph by turning on or off the pixels on the main canvas:

    • Click the SELECT mouse button to turn on a pixel.

    • Click the ADJUST mouse button to turn off a pixel.

    • Hold down the MENU mouse button for a menu of additional functions.

    Note -

    The character glyph in the upper left corner of the main window shows the actual appearance of the glyph as you turn its pixels on and off.

  7. In the Select window, type the TsangChieh, I-Tien, and Telecode input methods keystroke sequences for the character.

  8. Save the character, including its glyph and input strokes, by clicking Store in the Select window.

  9. Repeat the preceding steps as needed to create or modify font glyphs.

  10. After you have edited the character(s), select Save... from the File menu and type the name of the font file.

    In this example, you would save the font file in /tmp/newfont/myfont14.bdf.

  11. Select Save Dictionary from the File menu to save the input keystrokes in the dictionary.

    In this exercise, save the dictionary in /tmp/newfont/eucinput.usr.

  12. Click Continue in the message that appears to save the dictionary.

    The dictionary is saved when you click Continue. A message appears saying you must install the dictionary in the /usr/lib/mle/zh_TW/eucinput.usr file on your system before you can use the new input method keystrokes to type the new characters.
