5.6.3 Batch Renaming<br />

You can search and replace in the names of selected glyphs via<br />

Edit > Find > Find and Replace … (Cmd-Shift-F). If you leave the<br />

Find field blank, then whatever is entered in the Replace field<br />

will be appended to the names of all selected glyphs. E.g., to<br />

quickly add an ‘.alt’ sux to all selected glyphs, you enter the<br />

sux, including the dot, in the Replace field:<br />

5.7 IMAGES<br />

5.7.1 Adding Images<br />

Like in Edit view, you can add an image to the current glyph<br />

layer by dragging it onto a glyph cell. By default, an image<br />

will be placed at the origin point of the currently active layer<br />

of the glyph in question, and scaled to where one DTP point<br />

corresponds to one font unit as defined by the Units per em<br />

setting in File > Font Info > Font. You can control positioning,<br />

scaling, and cropping of images in Edit view.<br />

Batch-add images by choosing Layers > Add Image … and then<br />

selecting any number of images. <strong>Glyphs</strong> will place them in the<br />

appropriate cells based on their file name. E.g., an image called<br />

‘ntilde.png’ will be put in ntilde, ‘iacute.pdf’ in iacute.<br />

5.7.2 Viewing Images<br />

Image display in Font view respects the View > Show Image<br />

setting unless there is no path drawn in the currently active<br />

layer of the glyph. In that case, the image will be shown<br />

regardless of the Show Image setting.<br />
