Guidelines
Setting guidelines
The Guides layer is used to construct drawing guidelines
which are common to every character of the font (such as
the x-height line). The Guides layer is similar to the
Template layer, except it is drawn in light gray or green and
appears behind every character of the font. Guides are
purposely drawn in a lighter color so they can be
distinguished from the outline and template images.
Guidelines may be edited or created from any character’s
Outline Window. Change to the Guides layer by clicking on
its name in the Layers palette or by typing “g” when the
lock icon is in the locked state.
With the Guides layer active, you can edit or draw
guidelines with the standard drawing and editing tools.
Changes made to the Guides layer will appear in every
character in the font. You can undo changes made to the
Fontographer User's Manual
