Selecting
In addition to the current glyph you can select sets of glyphs in the font
chart. These selections behave similarly to selected text in a text editor –
you can copy selected glyphs to another place in the font or to a different
font; you can apply different effects to the selection; etc. Selected glyphs
have inverted colors:
To select one or more cells, press the left mouse button on the first or
last cell of your selection and drag the cursor across the cells you want to
select. You will see the selection highlighted. If you drag the cursor outside
the visible part of the chart, it will scroll accordingly. To cancel your
selection, click on any glyph cell.
Alternative: Using the navigating keys on the keyboard, set the current
cell highlight on the first (or last) cell of a selection, then press the SHIFT
key. Move the current cell highlight (as described earlier) to select the cells.
Selection does not have to be continuous. If you press the
CTRL key, you
can select cells in any order and combination.
