Hi Chandan, 1. If you do not wish to use Latin forms, place your mouse on the Space (before A). It will turn blue. Click << >> on the tool bar to create as many new edit windows as you wish. Do them one at a time if you wish. Next you will need to MAP each new glyph. Right click on the glyph, and se...

:idea: How about keeping the Groups tab as is with two exceptions: 1. Re-Name it to File/Compare 2. Have it open in a new window along side Active or Browse. We decide which panes we want open. This would take care of my compare needs AND free up the Groups Tab for your new function for it of using ...

End of project, turn off the computer, and the loaded fonts unload automatically! :oops: Caution: Don't move a loaded ...

Hi Amber,

You didn't leave an email address, so you probably never got my private message.

I should have paid closer attention, as now it is possibly too late to help. Sorry.

Cleaning cruddy Scanned in Gylphs Scan, copy to ClipBoard, Paste into FC Editing Window. Scan, Copy, Paste. Scan, Copy, Paste ... Oh no!! Scanned images often contain unwanted background junk. If you have some glyphs or even whole fonts like this, FC gives you at least two choices for cleaning them...

I only need to open two (more would perhaps be nice) files at the same time and use Windows to present them Parallel, Horizontal, or tiled. :!: MT already allows adjusting panes for whatever portion of the font file I happen to be interested in at the time. Usually, I need to examine various incarna...

Congratulations on a GREAT product!

How about making it possible to compare two fonts side by side?

slight imperfections in shapes are interpreted as on or off contour points. In the glyph editing window, switch from contour to point mode and make sure the beginning and ending points are on contour points. Use the mouse to highlight all the other points on the line and press delete. That will conv...

Use FC to open an existing font similar to the one you want to imulate and see how "they" did it.

View, Toolbar, Comparison Will help you examine how well your glyphs connect to each other.

:evil: Today's fonts have to serve two masters, the screen and the printed page.

I had been playing with FC for almost a year before I ever heard of hinting.

Most of us are still stumbling over typical 'new guy' artifacts.

That is why I wrote "Welcome to the club!" ... and a FUN new neat hobby!
