Entering the Glyph and Class Names
All features contain glyph names. You can enter them on the keyboard but
it’s faster to use the drag-drop method:
1. Select the glyph (in the Font window or in the Collection or in the Class
panel) whose name you want to enter.
2. Press the left mouse button and drag the cursor to the feature-
definition field. The position where the name will be inserted is
highlighted with the editing caret.
3. Select the destination position and release the mouse button to insert
the glyph name.
If more than one glyph was selected for drag-drop operation, all the glyph
names will be inserted separated by spaces and surrounded by brackets:
[zero one two three four five six seven eight nine]
To enter a class name defined in the Classes panel, drag the class name
from the list of classes.
If you drop the class name, it will be inserted into the feature definition
text preceded by the ‘@’
@class532
To insert the actual contents of the class hold the CTRL key when you
release the mouse button:
[perthousand perthousand percent threeeighths threequarters threeeighths
fiveeighths fiveeighths seveneighths seveneighths]
