Thank you Bob,

Finally I managed to achieve what I wanted. Not that it was
without numerous tries and errors. But, installing the trial
version of FontCreator and spending few hours in trying to
understand it a bit, I have created and installed a new font
file with a few of my glyphs plus most of the symbols I
frequently use (copied from other symbol fonts). Actually I did
not copy the glyphs but recreated them from scratch as the
Creator give much better images. I could then create shortcuts
to the new characters both in Word and MathType. With
embedding used fonts in MS Word I could print documents to
PDF and e-mail them, preserving the new characters.

The important thing, if anybody wants to do something similar,
is to place the newly created glyphs into empty locations or
overwrite existing characters such that the new glyphs map to
*normal* rather than to Unicode Private Use Area.

Thank you again,
