Glyph name

The only identification of a glyph (other than its visual appearance) is its

name. A Western glyph name consists of Latin characters, digits and

punctuation. It is highly recommended you name glyphs in accordance

with the following rules:

1. No spaces.

2. No digits at the beginning.

3. Only ‘.’ And ‘_’ punctuation marks are allowed in the name.

following notation:

[top menu item]/[sub-item]

Copy command from the menu:
