While you are in the Metrics Window you can print sample strings with or
without metrics and kerning information. To do so select the Print
command in the File menu.
You will see the standard print dialog box where you select the printer and
modify printing options. Press OK to begin printing.
FontLab will print the string that is currently selected for editing or
previewing in the Metrics Window. The size of the printed string will be the
same that is selected for previewing on the screen. The string may occupy
more than one line or even more than one page on the paper if necessary.
If metrics or kerning editing mode is selected additional information will
be printed below the baseline: in metrics mode - the widths of the glyphs
and the glyphs’ sidebearings; and in the kerning mode - the pair kerning
values.
In the metrics editing mode kerning will not be applied to the printed
string.
