of many selected glyphs, you can use Edit > Find > Find and
Replace (Cmd-Shift-F).
5.3.2 Width and Sidebearings
The widths as well as the left and right sidebearings can be
accessed and changed for any number of selected glyphs at
once. Changing the width only aects the right sidebearing.
5.3.3 Kerning Groups
You can set kerning groups for a range of glyphs, see chapter 7,
‘Spacing and Kerning’ (p. 63), for further details.
5.3.4 Exports
The glyph will appear in the exported font only if this check
box is enabled. This is useful for keeping glyph variations or
glyph components from ending up in the final OTF.
5.3.5 Color Label
For easier sorting and filtering, or simply for keeping
oversight, you can mark glyphs with one of ten predefined
colors. The colors have no eect on the exported font.
5.3.6 Unicode
The Unicode is determined by the glyph name, which means
that you cannot set the value directly. Thus, the displayed
Unicode is read-only. However, if the Don’t Use Nice Names
option is activated in the Other Settings tab of the Font Info,
you can set the Unicode manually.
5.3.7 Note
In list view, you can display even more properties as columns.
Right click on the column headers and tick o the columns
you want to see. You can use them as sort key. Switch
between ascending and descending sorting by clicking on the
column title.
5.3.8 Components in List View
In list view, you can have Glyphs display the elements of
composite glyphs by right-clicking on the table header and
activating Components in the context menu. You can change
the composition of glyphs by changing their entries in that
column, e.g., from ‘A, macron’ to ‘A, macron.case’.
