A more refined search
Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2021 2:30 pm
In Font Creator you can search for glyphs using a text match to the glyph name and have the results displayed in a 'Category' and this is fine as far as it goes but it is sometimes necessary to refine the search using more than one criterion. For example I can easily select all glyphs with a Tag by selecting its category but if I want to select all the 'simple' glyphs with a particular Tag or all the composite glyphs with a particular Tag I cannot do that.
It would be nice if there was a way to select glyphs using more than one criterion. Usually this would be selecting on 'this' AND 'that'. Selecting on 'this' OR 'that' is not nearly as useful. Normally you want to narrow a search not widen it so AND is much more useful than OR.
Alternatively sorting on 'composite'/'simple' or sorting on Tag within a Category might go a long way to solving this problem.
