An outline-spline font's data is shown in a scrollable pane at the top of the Font display window. Further windows may be opened to display a list of the Glyphs of every character present in the font and their dimensions, see Metrics list.

The Font data consists of the font's header information – font name, encoding, ascender and descender heights etc. – and a character codes list. This may be copied to clip-board, and in the case of CFF and TrueType fonts, edited.
