– Size of signet
The glyph(s) can be exported with unchanged size by selecting the option
like be-Glyph. This preserves the original relation to the other glyphs in the
font database, which makes re-importing (for instance after editing in
Adobe Illustrator®) possible without any scaling. With the option
Numerical Input the bounding box can be scaled to any size measured in
millimeters.
– Screen Preview
The eps files can be provided with a tiff for screen previewing. As an
option the required resolution can be entered. The default reolution is 300
dpi. The tiff files can be compressed with Apple’s PackBits format or
leaved uncompressed, which is the default setting.
Further options are Transparant and Allow Overwrite, which let the
program overwrite eps files with the same name. The name of the eps is
taken from the name of the database plus the Character Number.
Exporting the glyph with Character Number 302 of the h022013d named
database will result in h022013d_00302.eps. The eps files are automatically
stored in the directory that contains the used font database.
– Character Selection
Glyphs can be exported individually as eps files but also as group. With the
option Single a Character Number can be entered. The option All will
export all the glyphs in the font as eps files. It is also possible to export
ranges using the input fields of the Group option.
If multiple glyphs are exported by default the prgram will generate a
number of single eps files. In case one large eps file that contains all glyphs
is required, the function Put all selected be into one eps file should be
activated.
Import (Data Management)
With this very powerful batch function glyph data can be imported in the
currently open be database from any other be database. It is not necesarry

The exported eps files are stored in
the directory that contains the used
font database.
The size of the exported eps file is
based on the bounding box of the
glyph.
The Import (Data Management)
function makes the exchange of data
between diuerent files very easy.
