Patch a glyph into a font from another font
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
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).

Yeah. I should've at least checked out fontforge before I asked this question. I had done it myself within an hour of posting this question. Thanks.
