The horizontal bar below the glyph used to position points accurately has disappeared

Post by William »

I was making a font, happily using the numbers on the horizontal bar below the glyph to position points accurately.

I don't know what I did, but that bar disappeared.

How do I get it back please?

I tried closing the program and restarting but that did not solve the problem.

I tried the Help facility but I do not know what it is called.

Thank you for replying.

That does not work here, I get real time validation instead.

I am using FontCreator 8, I should have mentioned that.

I have searched for status bar and can find no reference to it.

F7 is the shortcut for Validation even in FontCreator 6.5

Try F4 for showing the Status Bar.

Thank you.

I found it under View Toolbars after learning from you that it is called the status bar.

Back to fontmaking!
