5.5 FILTERING AND SORTING<br />

5.5.1 Search Box<br />

The search box (Cmd-F) at the bottom right provides a way to<br />

instantly narrow down the selection of glyphs displayed in<br />

the Font tab. Click on the zoom symbol in the search field to<br />

access additional options: you can choose to only search for<br />

a Unicode number or for a glyph name, or both; the Match<br />

case option activates the case sensitivity of the search term<br />

you enter.<br />

5.5.2 Categories<br />

Categories give you the option to only display a predefined<br />

subset of the glyphs you have. Click the triangle next to the<br />

Category name to access subcategories. You can combine more<br />

than one category by Cmd-clicking their names, e.g., if you<br />

Cmd-click the Categories ‘Uppercase’ and ‘Lowercase’, <strong>Glyphs</strong><br />

will display both upper- and lowercase letters.<br />

You can achieve an even narrower subset by also Cmdclicking<br />

a Filter. For instance, if you click the ‘Uppercase’<br />

Category and then Cmd-click ‘MacRoman’, <strong>Glyphs</strong> will display<br />

all uppercase characters in the MacRoman encoding.<br />

You can cancel any subset you created and return<br />

to displaying the complete glyph set by clicking on the<br />

‘All’ Category.<br />

5.5.3 Languages<br />

To only display glyphs belonging to a certain script, you can<br />

click on the name of the script in the Languages, e.g., ‘Latin’,<br />

‘Cyrillic’, ‘Greek’ etc. Clicking on the triangle next to the<br />

script name will expand the view and give you more detailed<br />

subsetting options. Again, you can combine subsets by<br />

subsequently Cmd-clicking them.<br />
