FontLab 4

To select a codepage in the Font Window:
1. Switch the Font Window to the Codepages mode by clicking the
Codepages
button.
2. The encoding selection combo box will show the names of all available
codepages:
MS Windows codepages come first, MS DOS codepages follow. All
other codepages are sorted according to their names.
3. Select the codepage that you want from the list and you will see the
Font Window change. All the characters that are in the codepage
appear in the “yellow” area. All other characters are in the “white” area
below. Select the MS Windows 1252 Latin 1 codepage and you will see
how your font will look in the Windows standard (Western) codepage.
All codepages in FontLab are defined in editable text files, so you can
change any codepage if you think it is wrong (please let us know!) or you
can define your own codepage. We do not recommend changing any of the
codepages supplied with FontLab. They are extensively tested and are
based on the documents from the companies who supply them.
