You might like to have a look at Softy, which is a shareware font editor for
TrueType fonts. Softy can be used to produce new TrueType fonts and to edit
existing TrueType fonts.

There is some more information about Softy, including the correct email
address for registrations, at the following page.

Having a look for
Softy
and
Softy font
at http://www.yahoo.com might be helpful.
I am trying to obtain a copy of the tutorial by "Grumpy", so far without
success.
I have found the other tutorial and it is very useful.
I have had lots of fun with the Softy program and although I have not tried
to implement the U+FE20 and U+FE21 which you mention, I have tried various
experiments using Softy and have found it a very satisfactory package to
use.
Softy is shareware, so perhaps you might think it worth a try to find out if
it will help you do what you want to achieve.
Also, you might like to have a look at the SC UniPad program which I
mentioned earlier today in another thread. When I was studying your posting
I used SC UniPad to have a look at the various Cyrillic characters which you
mentioned. As far as I can tell at present SC UniPad does not position the
U+FE20 and U+FE21 characters as you might want them to appear, yet SC UniPad
would seem like a good way to key in the text, ready to copy and paste it
into another program which would be used to display the thus keyed text
using a font of your choice.
