Manual Metrics Editing
To modify a glyph’s metrics you can use three methods:
1. Move the sidebearings lines using the left mouse button.
2. Edit the values in the property area of the Metrics Window.
3. Drag the glyph within the editing area.
To move the sidebearings lines just position the mouse cursor on the
line, press the left mouse button and drag the mouse. Release the mouse
button when you are done.
To drag a glyph within the editing area, position the mouse cursor on
the glyphs’ image; press the left mouse button and drag the mouse to
position the glyph inside its width. Press the right mouse button while
dragging the mouse to modify the glyph’s width.
You can easily modify the vertical position of the glyph relative to its
baseline. Just press and hold the
SHIFT key on the keyboard while dragging
the glyph and this will modify its vertical position.
