Referencing Metrics
In the table you can use a reference instead of the real numeric value. For
example, if you want to set the left sidebearing of the glyph ‘B’ to be equal
to the left sidebearing of the glyph ‘D’, click on the cell located at the
intersection of the B column and the third row:
and, instead of the numeric value for the metric, enter “=D”. When you
click
ENTER key to accept changes, the data will be copied from the source
glyph.
