The edfont utility allows you to copy glyphs from other fonts to the
font currently being edited regardless of any font and glyph parameters.
At SR10 use the "Copy to Glyph" function from the "Glyph" pulldown menu
of the edfont utility.

You can then use the "compose" key as defined by the "kbm" command to
insert any character above 0x7f into a pad once you have loaded the font
file.
