Patch a glyph into a font from another font I have a monaco font patched for powerline that I downloaded from this repository. Now for licensing issue there are no free version of this font. Anyway, I use tmux which have `U+2502` as a separator for vertical split. Now, the monaco font that I have doesn't have this glyph. I have another font, official latest version of Inconsolata that has a beautiful version of this glyph. I ran into this post from a while ago where one of the answers was to patch the font with that glyph manually with fontforge or similar font editor. How do I just add one glyph to one font from another font?

I just tried it with fontforge on Windows (already installed), it's pretty straight forward.

* Open fontforge with the source font, scroll down until you find `U+2502`.
* Right click on the glyph -> _Copy_
* Open another instance of fontforge with the target font, scroll down to the empty slot for `U+2502`
* Right click -> _Paste_
* Select _File -> Generate Fonts (Ctrl+Shift+G)_ in the menu, enter a new font name, select _True Type_ , click _Generate_ and click away some warnings.
* Repeat for each font type (regular, bold, italic, ...)

For testing I used Arial.ttf as source font and inserted the glyph into Inconsolata.ttf of your second link (didn't have this glyph).
