The glyph chart in the Font window is a visual representation of all the
glyphs in the font. To modify the font you have to learn how to use the
glyph chart: navigate, select glyphs and select commands.
From here on we will reference all characters as glyphs. We would like to
clarify once more: a font is a collection of glyphs. Text is a collection of
codes. An alphabet is collection of characters. Since we are talking of fonts,
we will be using the term “glyph”.
