I'm trying to use an icon font in Affinity Designer, pe-7-icon-stroke (freely available here). However I have trouble finding and pasting the right glyph into Designer. I have tried the built-in Windows app Character Map to copy glyphs, but when when I paste them into Designer, all that is pasted is a line break. Similarly, when I try to paste glyphs from Font Awesome, I get an empty rectangle instead of the actual glyph.
On Windows, what is the recommended way to paste and use icon fonts? How do I get the desired glyphs from a font into Designer?
Using 1.5.0.26 RC2 on Windows 10.
