Thanks Bob and Frank for your kind reponses. I have meanwhile sent a mail to the font provider , if he can provide me with the info regarding the font. 1. Whether the font use a Private Use Area 2. If it does than which code point points it assigns its characters to..
As for an input method to type them.. for each English alphabet we have a corresponding alphabet in Roslien. I am using this property of the font successfully to type it through the default virtual keyboard, on to my Message Box(Edit Text).
