Sometimes you may need to add a description or some other information
to a glyph. In FontLab you can do that using the Notes function.
A Note is a small text box that you can attach to the glyph. It is visible in
the Font window and in the Glyph window.
To add a note to a glyph in the Font window: left-click it; press the right
mouse button; and select the More > Add Note... command in the context
menu.
You will see a Note window:
Enter the text of the note and click the button in the caption bar to
accept changes or
to reject the changes and close the window. There are
also keyboard shortcuts:
CTRL+ENTER to accept changes or ESC to exit.
If you have entered something in the note box you will see the note icon
appear in the glyph cell:
To open the note click the right button on the note icon. You will see the
note window with the text of the note. The window will disappear when
you release the button.
To edit a note double-click the note icon or select the More > Add
Note... command from the context menu.
To remove the note open it for editing and remove the text.
