- I ran the Validation Wizard which identified one problem at $09F8
- I tried to search for "09F8" and "#09F8" and "$09F8" but nothing worked.
- I changed the display mode to decimal and ran the validator again
- This time the validator reported the problem at glyph index 2552
- I searched for "2552" and found nothing
- I searched for "#2552" and found the glyph

2552 is $9F8

That still doesn't find it.
Searching for "#$9F8" does find it. So does searching for "#$09F8"

Re: Unable to Find Glyph $09F8
Yes, that is correct.
Re: Unable to Find Glyph $09F8
Searching for "#$9F8" finds me the glyph with glyph index #$09F8, searching for "$9F8" finds me the glyph at code point $09F8 and searching for "9F8" finds me any glyphs with the character sequence 9F8 in the glyph name. I wouldn't expect a search for "#9F8" to find anything, because 9F8 isn't a valid decimal number.

Was it really showing $E9F8? Then it is a bug as it actually should have been $9F8.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:I ran the Validation Wizard which identified one problem at $E9F8
Did I do something wrong?

No. It shows $09F8 — that was an error due to tiredness, I have edited the thread title and post titles. I was editing hex codes in glyphnames.dat beginning with E at the time, but it still doesn't work as expected.Erwin Denissen wrote:Was it really showing $E9F8?

I understand that the # means glyph index, but if the captions are set to Glyph Index, and Code-points are in hex, why are Glyph Index numbers shown in Hex?
This particular glyph has no code-point so only a Glyph Index search could locate it.

Re: Unable to Find Glyph $09F8
I must admit I sometimes find it annoying to have the glyph index as hexadecimal, but I'm not sure how other users feel about it. We could decide to always show glyph indexes as decimal.

Re: Unable to Find Glyph $09F8
I'd like them to be postcript names of course!

I would prefer Unicode character names, but never decimal.Dick Pape wrote:I'd like them to be postcript names of course!

I don't understand this comment. Is it a joke? Maybe you meant postcrypt names?Dick Pape wrote:I'd like them to be postcript names of course!
How can Glyph Index numbers use Glyph Names?

Re: Unable to Find Glyph $09F8
I just keep mentioning it... regardless of the subject.
