Re na m i ng Gl yphs
Usually it is not necessary to manually rename glyphs because their names
and Unicode indexes are assigned automatically when you move glyphs in
the Font window. But if you want to see the information and correct it,
select the Rename Glyph command from the Glyph > Glyph Names menu.
Or just press
CTRL+\ on the keyboard.
You will see a dialog box:
In the top part of the dialog box you see the current name and Unicode
index (indexes) of the glyph. In the middle there are two edit fields where
you may change the information. Below them lie the options controls.
To change a glyph’s name enter a new name in the Name field. If this
glyph has a properly assigned Unicode index and you want to find the
name mapped to that index in FontLab’s database press the Auto button to
the right of the edit field and FontLab will fill in the Name field for you.
