								To generate a new letter icon:
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  Open `icons.sfd`  in FontForge.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  Open "IBM Plex Sans Medium" to the side. Return to the icons font.

								-  Copy the two baselines from `E0F0`  to the new codepoint.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
									
										
										
										
											2023-08-13 14:07:33 -04:00 
										
									 
								 
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  Open the new codepoint.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  Select the upper baseline.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  Use `Element | Insert Text Outlines...`  to place text:
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								  -  Turn off "Scale so text width matches path length".
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								  -  Align "centered".
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								  -  Type first line of text into the box.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								  -  Click the "Insert" button (might need window resize to be visible).
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  Delete the baseline.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  If there's a line 2, repeat for the lower baseline, including deletion.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  Select all.

								-  Use `Element | Transformations | Transform...`  to Scale Uniformly (from glyph origin) and Move as needed:
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								  -  One letter: 12000%, X 896, Y 15.5.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								  -  Two letters: 10000%, X 896, Y 99.2.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								  -  Three letters: 8000%, X 896, Y 183.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								  -  Two lines: 8000%, X 896, Y 618.5.

								-  If resulting glyph is too wide, repeat all steps starting with "IBM Plex Sans Condensed Medium" instead.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								  -  Remember to close the other IBM Plex font or select the proper one in the text dialog.

								-  Codepoints `E0F0`  to `E0F4`  are for reference only.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  The back layer of each of `E0F1`  to `E0F4`  has lines that show the expected tops and bottoms of text. Round letters and numerals will reach slightly above or below.
							 
						 
					
						
							
								
							 
							
								
							 
							
								 
							 
							
							
								-  The WSG icon (`E11F`) has been slightly kerned to fit.
