Please use the Font Importer to import such fonts. You can find it in the Tools menu.
Best,

Hello,
I am trying to load a particular TrueTypeFont that represents the Cuneiform signs in the Cuneiform Unicode block.
You can find some information on this page [https://www.hethport.uni-wuerzburg.de/cuneifont/].
Specifically, I'm attempting to work with the Neo-Assyrian font on that page ('Assurbanipal.ttf' in the zip file). I have also tried the Old Babylonian fonts with similar results.
I have "imported" this font using the FileList tool and it does appear as a TextStyle. However, if I attempt to run:
```
m := TextMorph new
beAllFont: ((TextStyle named: 'Assurbanipal') fontOfSize: 36);
backgroundColor: Color white.
signString := (Unicode value: 16r12038) asString.
m contents: signString.
m openInHand.
```
I get a TextMorph that appears blank. Either I am doing something incorrectly or the system cannot render the glyph at that code point (which should be the sign "AŠ"). Any ideas?
