Preview window
Waterfall preview
To open the Preview panel (if it’s not already open) press the
button on the toolbar.
If you enter any characters in the edit field, you will see these characters
appear in the top of the preview window. Use the usual FontLab rules to
enter special characters (enter the character name after a slash ‘/’ character
or two slashes to enter a slash: “//”).
You may also drag selected characters from the Font Window and drop
them in the Preview window.
With the waterfall preview you can quickly select the current PPM. Just
move the cursor to the sample PPM you want to select and double-click the
left mouse button.
