Font Forum

Hey, I think I found a little bug just now! In the preview window (in the main interface or in the OTD), if you type a "/" before a character then it inadvertently deletes the "/" and only leaves you that second character. If you type just a slash with nothing after it, or with a space after it (and then whatever characters after the space), then it does show up in the preview, but not if it's immediately followed by another glyph (alphabetical ones, anyway -- I didn't check every one of the hundreds in my font, although I did check it in multiple fonts off my system, too, so it's not something funny going on just with my own fonts).

It is not a bug but a feature which allows you to use a glyph name instead of the character.

Try this:

12 + /one/two equals 24 and 6 // 3 = 2 so it works great /exclam

Ah, okay -- got it! In that case, though, when you select the slash character and then hit "p" to have it display in the preview, then shouldn't it come out in there as "/slash" instead?

Just a suggestion!

Good point. Consider it done!
