Description
From @tonihele on September 28, 2015 19:52
Font creator doesn't create more than 256 characters. The Font Creator lets the user select the char range and even shows them on the preview, but the end result contains just one page with 256 characters max.
Easy fix would be just to produce one page with the given character range (max displayable char...). If I understood correctly, JME does read these, no matter what the max range is. Also the preview image could be inside a scrollable container. As it tends to eat up and hide all the controls when it is big enough.
Here some discussion from the forums (also pin pointed some of the code points which might be related):

Research direction
Start with the Font Creator implementation and the forum discussion linked in the issue, then trace how the selected character range is converted into generated pages and displayed in the preview. Done means ranges above 256 produce all requested characters and the preview remains usable when it grows.
