Glyph List
You may select which glyphs will be transformed by entering a list of
glyphs. This is handy for repetitive or recurrent transformations.
To create a glyph list select the All glyphs in the glyph list or All glyphs
that are not in the list options in the ranges selection list and press the
List… button (which will be enabled).
You will see a dialog box:
Enter all the glyphs that you want to transform into the Glyph list editing
field. You can use special character commands to enter characters that are
not included in the standard Latin 1 character set used in Windows by
default. Use a ‘/’ prefix to enter a glyph’s name or use a decimal code and a
“/#” prefix to enter a glyph’s Unicode index.
Use the Open button to open any text file and use it as a glyph list and the
Save button to save the current glyph list in a text file.
Note that if you open the Transform Range dialog box while the Metrics
window is active the glyph list will be copied from the Metrics window’s
sample string and the All glyphs in the glyphs list option will be
automatically selected, so you can instantly apply transformations to the
set of glyphs that are previewed in the Metrics window.
