40 whitespaces

As Dick Pape explained to you, when you run Autometrics, the process automatically places 40 whitespaces on each side of the glyph. You have to select “Fixed” instead of “Calculated” to change this. Or, after you paste characters into glyph edit windows, saving the font will move the glyphs to the 0...

Space Glyph

I lead you astray! I just requested that Erwin add a box allowing us to de-select this character, and THEN remembered seeing a "<" on the Autometrics window. I experimented and found that my request is NOT necessary! Go to Tools, Autometrics, >>, select the space glyph, < to remove it and ...

I would suggest selecting a spare glyph editing window somewhere other than those you will be using (0-9, A-Z, a-z) and drag in the circle glyph from the left side of the screen. When you have it the size you want, copy it to the clip board, then paste it and move to the desired places until you hav...
