In FontLab you can transform glyphs in many ways. You can edit glyphs
and glyphs’ metrics manually using the Glyph and Metrics windows
described in previous chapters. Or you can use FontLab’s transformation
filters to edit glyphs or metrics automatically. Transformations may be
applied to one glyph, to a range of glyphs selected in the Font window, to a
special set of glyphs (only to letters or only to digits, for example) or to a
whole font. All the filters are carefully designed and always produce high-
quality results that usually do not require manual control or correction.
In this chapter we will show you how to use the transformation filters and
give a detailed description of each available filter.
