Editing Fonts

If the option Replace existing glyphs with the same name or Unicode
index option is not checked then, if you enter a name that is already
assigned to one of the font’s glyphs, the OK button will be disabled and you
will not be able to assign that name. Switch the option on to allow FontLab
to replace glyphs. Use the next option to control how FontLab does the
replacement.
Use the Unicode edit field to change a glyph’s Unicode indexes. You may
enter more than one Unicode index separated by a space. Use the Auto
button to find the Unicode indexes mapped to a glyph’s name in FontLab’s
database.
Rename glyph in all classes – this option will automatically change the
glyph name in all classes that contain the glyph being renamed.
Press the OK button to assign a new name to the glyph. You will see that
the glyph moves to a new place in the Font window depending on the
currently selected encoding vector, Unicode range or codepage.
If you want to rename more glyphs, press the Rename Next Glyph button.
A new name will be assigned to the current glyph (as if you had pressed the
OK button) and data from the next glyph will appear for editing.
