How to Edit the Unicode Ranges Definition File
The Unicode ranges definition file is located in the Data directory and has the name URANGES.DAT.
To change this file, open it in a text editor. You will see the following text:
%%FONTLAB UNICODE RANGES
0x0000,0x007F,C0 Controls and Basic Latin
0x0000,0x001F, C0 controls
0x0020,0x007F, ASCII
0x0080,0x00FF,C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement
0x00A0,0x00FF, ISO 8859-1 (aka Latin1)
0x0100,0x017F,Latin Extended-A
0x0100,0x017F, European Latin
0x0180,0x024F,Latin Extended-B
The first line of this file is an identification line. It should not be changed or FontLab will not accept
this file as a valid Unicode range definition file.
All other strings have the same structure:
<first index of the range>, <last index>,<range’s name>
Note that there is no space before a name range’s name but there are four spaces before a
subrange’s name. Using this simple method you can indent ranges’ names as you wish.
