Extracting Glyph Names from FontCreator

FontCreator - Font Editor FontCreator - Support
1

I’m making an icon font and wanted to provide the devs the glyph names beside the html code to use.

Is this possible with Font Creator? If not, does anyone know how can this be done?

Something like this: http://www.entypo.com/characters/

Is something like the attached any good?

Select the glyphs in the overview, then print the selected glyphs to a PDF printer driver.

Yeah I tried that, ideally it could be HTML and at least semi-automated as we’re still adding new glyphs all the time.

Thanks

The only other method I could come up with was

  1. Select the glyphs in the overview,
  2. Press the “P” shortcut to add them to the preview toolbar
  3. Copy the text string from the Preview Toolbar
  4. Paste that into BabelMap

  1. Convert to a string of Hex, Decimal, or UCN codes to paste into a text editor

This is a list of the UCN codes for the Miscellaneous Symbols character set.
