FontLab 4

Duplicating Unicode Indexes

In FontLab you may assign more than one (up to 63, actually) Unicode

indexes to a glyph. Visually this means that a glyph that has several

Unicode indexes will appear several times when one of the Unicode modes

(Ranges or Codepages modes) is selected in the Font window. To

distinguish the original copy of the glyph from the duplicates the latter are

marked by a small blue mark in the left-top corner of the glyph cells.

To make a duplicate of a glyph, select it (you may select many glyphs at

once); position the mouse cursor on the selection; press the left mouse

button; press the

CTRL key; and drag the selection to the place where you

want it to be duplicated. It is important to have the

CTRL key pressed when

you release the mouse button.

You can later correct Unicode indexes assigned to the glyph by using the

Rename Glyph dialog or the Glyph Properties panel (described later).
