Hello,
I am trying to use AutoHotkey to map the right Fn key to Del, as I currently have my switches on the hhkb set to have LWin mapped to Fn. Now both LWin and Fn map to the same keypress. Would I be better off having my switches set on the hhkb to leave LWin as LWin, and mapping that to become Fn in AutoHotkey, and then mapping the current Fn key to Del?
Sorry if this is a bad explanation of the problem, I am glad to clarify my question if need be.
(Going to go and fiddle with this some more now)

Did you make any progress?
I was thinking that the Fn key didn't actually send a signal to the computer. Instead the Fn+'other key' combo is internalized by the keyboard and the desired signal is sent. I have no idea how accurate it is, so I am now also curious to see how this goes.

Xowie is right. But since you're already using Authotkey, you might as well implement your own custom FN-Layer (or you know, the same as the HHKB's).

Yeah, After further examination it seems that the Fn key itself does not register any keypress, which sucks... Maybe I'll research that custom controller that exists for the hhkb and see if that changes how it works at all. Thanks for the confirmation though!
