Composite versus simple glyphs
Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2007 8:07 pm
If I copy a composite glyph character and paste it into another location to modify, this causes it to become a single glyph font.
This difference leaves different right-click menu options for working with the character. I have tried it several times and it seems to be consistent.
Why doesn't it paste exactly what was copied?
I have also noticed that within a character - CTRL-C, CTRL-V does not copy and paste an accent for example - even though cut and paste appear on the menu - but CTRL D does duplicate the accent. Seems like an odd handling of this function.
