I have two different font files FontFile1.otf and FontFile2.otf. I want to copy Unicode character at position 1759 from FontFile1.otf to FontFile2.otf. How can i do that?

I tried to do it using FontForge and Fontographer but the paste doesn't seem to work (paste is disabled, and the menu item doesn't enable). Are there any specific instructions for copy/paste? Is there any other tool i can use?

Open both fonts in the same FontForge instance then you'll be able to copy glyphs from one to the other.
