Re e nc o di ng the Fo nt
In FontLab you can assign names from the encoding vector to glyphs that
are sorted in the Font Window according to a different encoding vector. Or
you can assign Unicode indexes from one codepage to the currently
selected (different) codepage if the Font window is in Codepages mode.
In this operation FontLab takes encoded glyphs (glyphs that are in the
yellow area of the Font window’s glyph chart) one by one and assigns
names or Unicode indexes from the encoding vector (or codepage) that you
select.
To reencode glyphs, select the Encoding or Codepages mode in the Font
window. Select the Encoding mode to assign new names and the
Codepages mode to assign new Unicode indexes. Then select the Reencode
glyphs command from the Glyph > Glyph Names menu.
