Andy,
The best and less tedious way of generating new characters for any digital font file is to use a font designing software, such as FontLab Studio.
The process is very easy: say you wish to create the character “c cedilla.” All you have to do is inside this app to copy the character “c” to the correct Unicode box and then add the little leg underneath. Since this app is vector based (such as Illustrator) it is very easy and quick to do such modifications. You do not have to worry with the kerning tables because that is intrinsically set by the app (although you can change the kerning of any pair). After this all you have to do is to generate and save the same file with a new name and load it in Windows or Mac.
