You can find many actions in the Glyph and Tools menus that can be
applied to the open glyph in the Glyph window (see next chapter), but most
of them are applicable to the glyph(s) selected in the Font window.
To apply an action, select the glyphs in the Font window and choose the
appropriate command in the Tools or Glyph menu. For example, to
convert glyphs from TrueType outlines to Type 1 outlines, select the glyphs
that you want to convert and choose the Tools > Outline > To Type 1
Curves command. If more than 64 glyphs were selected for
transformation, you will see the warning message:
Click Yes and FontLab will apply the action to all selected glyphs.
You can find descriptions of all actions in the chapter “Editing Glyphs”.
