4. Select everything in the Outline Window by
choosing “Select All” from the Edit menu.

Uniformly” as your first transformation, enter 60%,
and make sure all the other transformation pop-ups
say “Do nothing.”
Fontographer scales both characters to 60% of their
original size.
6. Position your pointer away from the characters, and
click on nothing to deselect everything (or simply
press the tab key, which always deselects
everything). Then click the mouse on the outline of
the “8.”
A box will appear around the number “8” (this represents
the composite character’s bounding box). Composite
characters do not show the points you normally see. (You
cannot edit points in a composite character unless you first
choose “Unlink Reference.”)
7. Drag the box containing the “8” toward the lower
right-hand corner.
8. Double-click on the path or on any point on the
number “3” to select all of it, and then move the “3”
