FontLab 4
504
Below the PPM selection controls there are two check boxes:
Lock preview text box
When this option is switched on, FontLab will not allow you to change the
contents of the sample string edit box. You can, however, select pre-
defined strings in the list.
Below the options there is a list of pre-defined sample stings. You can
freely edit it as text or click the Open button to open a text file that will be
used as a source of sample strings.
The last option in the dialog box is the Font to use in the preview combo
box. Enter the font name or click on the Select button to choose one of the
fonts. The font will be used in the sample selection control – this is very
useful when you are working with non-Latin fonts.
