Windows Utilities You’ve Never Heard Of: Private Character Editor

Interesting post from Make Use Of today regarding the creation of custom fonts. Making fonts is something I’ve always been interested in, so I took a look, only to be surprised that the author is suggesting using a built in Windows program to do the font creating work.
That program is the “Private Character Editor,” it looks like a font-centric MSPaint, its reached by entering “C:\WINDOWS\system32\eudcedit.exe” in the run dialogue, and I have never heard of it before.
Have I been living in a cave, or is this a Windows feature that rarely sees the light of documentation?
Either way, if you’re interested, do like me and try it because you really don’t believe its there, or just check out the rundown at Make Use Of.
