Five digit unicode values ?

jo

I "accidentally" placed the symbol for a musical note on the glyph u1D160 (unicode: 1D160) of the "Musical Symbols" unicode-set instead of the glyph "musicalnote" (unicode: 266A).

Now that is a five digit unicode value.

If selected in the font collection the space center does not open.

The output window says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lib/doodleDocument.pyc", line 635, in openSpaceCenter_
  File "lib/doodleSpaceWindow.pyc", line 48, in OpenSpaceCenterDocument

Is Python not able to handle five digit unicode values?

yeah, python and unicode :)

In the next release RoboFont will check if an unicode value is bigger than 0x10000 (65536) to open a Space Center.
