The mapping is the easy part but identifying the control flow is where things seem to get tricky. Print statements do not seem to help as they get printed multiple times for a single keystroke (18 times) and I am unsure which invocation in the loop is the relevant one and an attempt to insert an if condition based on the value I passed seemed to have no effect.<br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span>The other problem I had when I hard coded the value of nGlyphIndex is that the cursor does not move all the way to the end of the glyph but is in the center of the glyph so that the next keystroke results in an overlap of the right half of the glyph with the left half of the next glyph. This is the case only with the glyph in the font file I generated. Note that I have used my fontfile with other programs written using Gtk+ and they work fine.<br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span>Any ideas would be appreciated.</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span><br></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span>-a</span></span></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span><span></span></span><br></div><div><br></div>
