FontLab 4
42
You can switch the ruler bars on and off with the Rulers option in the View
menu. A quicker way is to right-click the ruler and choose the option in the
context menu:
At the very bottom-right corner of the Glyph window you will find a little
expand button that, when clicked on, opens the Glyphs bar:
This is nothing more than a slice of the Font window, making it easier to
access cells in the font window while the glyph window is maximized for
precise editing work.
At the bottom-left corner of the windows you will find two more buttons,
Lock and Meter:
The Lock button controls quick access to the font glyph – when it is in the
“unlocked” state
you can use the keyboard to directly access the glyphs.
I.e. when you press a key the corresponding glyph will automatically open
in the glyph window.
