Before we start talking about fonts and the FontLab font-editing features
let’s spend some time learning the FontLab user interface. For the most
part it is a standard Windows interface so if you know how to navigate in
Windows or in Microsoft Office you will feel comfortable with FontLab. In
other parts it is unique and that is where we will focus.
Most of the interface elements in FontLab 4 are completely customizable
and from this chapter you will learn how to change the FontLab interface
so it will best fit your needs.
Please note that further in the book we will refer to menu commands,
toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts as they appear in the default
FontLab environment, prior to any modifications you may make.
