Rearrange character codes
Contents
To reorganize the characters in the code table window:
| • | Select a character by clicking on it or select a range of characters by clicking on the first of a range, holding down the Shift key, and clicking on the last character in the range. The selected character(s) are shown highlighted on a cyan background. |
| • | To deselect any selected character(s) click the Unselect button. |
| • | To move character(s) hold down the mouse button and drag the selected character(s) to the new location in the table then release the button. If there is a glyph assigned to the character code already, the codes are exchanged and the two glyphs swap places (see also 'To restore' below). When moving a range of characters, the position of the mouse when the button is released determines the location for the first character of the selected range. |
| • | To copy character(s), hold down the Ctrl key then drag the selected character(s) to new location as above. |
| • | To restore character codes to their previous values, select the character location(s) then click Restore. |
| • | To delete selected character(s), click the Delete button or press the Delete key. Only characters at the selected locations are deleted: if there are duplicates of characters elsewhere in the table at unselected locations, they will remain in the font. |
When you have finished rearranging the character codes:
| • | click OK or |
| • | click Cancel to exit the dialog without applying any changes. |
