I recently acquired a beautiful font (TTF), with well shaped characters. In Microsoft Word, I opened the Insert Symbol box and saw many different characters, including ones from Classical Greek, a double exclamation mark, an interrobang and many ligatures which I have never seen in a font before. When I opened the font in a font editing program, I noticed that there were literally hundreds more glyphs (unmapped), which I would love to use, including mixed-case numerals, small caps, and many more ligatures(about twice as much, totaling at about 60!). Is there a way to use these unmapped glyphs in Microsoft Word? Please tell me that it is NOT by individually mapping these glyphs! I wouldn't know what to map them to (there are over 300 more unmapped glyphs!), that process would take for ever, especially for each of the regular, italic, bold, and bolditalic styles! (300 x 4 = 1200) I really do not want to map over 1200 glyphs.
