Defining glyph names

There are several ways to set the glyph name.

Glyph names are automatically converted to a readable name (e.g. if you input "afii10017", it will be converted to "Acyrillic").

If you don’t know the exact glyph name but the unicode value, you can use "uni"+unicode index. (e.g. uni0410 for the cyrillic uppercase "A").

  1. Select the glyph in the Font view

  2. Hit (enter) or click on the glyph name.

    While typeing, a popup will suggest a valid name.

  2. Remove any selection if you are in selection Mode
