FontLab 4
216
Three icons may appear in this area:
The glyph has either imported or visual TrueType hints
The glyph has a Type 1 hint replacement program
The glyph has a Mask layer that is “compatible” with the outline.
Below the default (top) location of the Local toolbar and at the left of the
window you may see rulers that are used to preview positions of various
structures in the glyph space. You may switch the rulers on and off with the
View > Rulers command or using the context menu that appears if you
right-click one of the rulers.
In the bottom-right corner of the Glyph Window you will find a little
button
. Click it and you will see the Glyphs Bar – a small subset of the
Font Window that lets you quickly browse the font or select characters for
editing.
Let’s stop for a moment and describe the Glyphs Bar.
