<P>
<DL>
<DT>
<A NAME="Center">Center</A> in Width
<DD>
In the Outline and Metrics Views this centers the current glyph (makes its
lbearing be the same as its rbearing) within the current width.
<P>
In the Font View the same thing is done for all selected glyphs.
<DT>
<A NAME="Thirds">Thirds</A> in Width
<DD>
This is very like Center in Width above... except that I happen to prefer
having a bit more white space after my glyphs than before them. So this command
makes the rbearing twice the lbearing (instead of making them be the same).
<DT>
<A NAME="WindowType">Window</A> Type
<DD>
In the Metrics View, the window may behave in different ways.
<DL>
<DT>
<A NAME="WT-Kerning">Kerning Only</A>
<DD>
This metrics view may only be used to adjust kerning
<DT>
<A NAME="WT-Width">Advance Width Only</A>
<DD>
This metrics view may only be used to adjust the advance widths of glyphs
<DT>
<A NAME="WT-Both">Both</A>
<DD>
This metrics view will adjust either the advance width or kerning
</DL>
<DT>
Set <A NAME="Width">Width</A>...
<DD>
<IMG SRC="setwidth.png" WIDTH="290" HEIGHT="186"><BR>
The Set Width command allows you to change the width of the current glyph
(in the outline view) or all selected glyphs (in the font view). You may
either set the width to an absolute value, change the width by adding a constant
value to it, or multiply it by a scale factor. Normally the width will be
expressed in em-units, but in a bitmap only font the width will be expressed
as pixels in the current displayed font.
<DT>
Set <A NAME="LBearing">LBearing</A>...
<DD>
The Set LBearing command is similar to the Set Width command above, the dialog
is pretty much the same except that it applies to the left side bearing rather
than to the width.
<DT>
Set <A NAME="RBearing">RBearing</A>...
<DD>
The Set RBearing command is similar to the Set Width command above, the dialog
is pretty much the same except that it applies to the right side bearing
rather than to the width.
<DT>
<A NAME="Auto">Auto</A> Width...
<DD>
This command is only available in the font view.
<A HREF="autowidth.html#AutoWidth">It attempts to guess reasonable values
for the widths</A> (more accurately the left and right bearings) of the specified
glyphs.
<DT>
<A NAME="KernByClasses">Kern</A> By Classes...
<DD>
This command is only available from the font and metrics views. It provides
the user with a <A HREF="metricsview.html#kernclass">dialog</A> to manipulate
kerning classes.
<DT>
<A NAME="Remove">Remove</A> All Kern Pairs
<DD>
In the font view removes all kern pairs (and kern classes) in the font.<BR>
In the outline glyph view removes all kern pairs where the current glyph
is the left hand glyph.<BR>
Not present in the Metrics or Bitmap views.
<DT>
<A NAME="kernpair">Kern Pair Closeup...</A>
<DD>
(Sorry about the name, I couldn't think of a better).
<A HREF="metricsview.html#kernpair">Allows</A> you to get a look at kerning
between two glyphs at different point-sizes and to build a
"<A HREF="metricsview.html#DeviceTable">Device Table</A>" (which allows small
corrections from the standard behavior at specified point sizes)<BR>
Not present in the Bitmap view.
<DT>
<A NAME="VKernByClasses">VKern</A> By Classes...
<DD>
This command is only available from the font and metrics views. It provides
the user with a <A HREF="metricsview.html#kernclass">dialog</A> to manipulate
vertical kerning classes.
<DT>
<A NAME="VKernFromHKern">VKern</A> From HKern
<DD>
This command is only available from the font and metrics views. It removes
all current vertical kerning information, then it looks through the font
and for each pair of horizontally kerned glyphs where both have a 'vert'
or 'vrt2' feature it produces a vertical kerning pair for the vertical versions
of those glyphs. (That is: If <CODE>A</CODE>+<CODE>V</CODE> are horizontally
kerned by -50 and <CODE>A</CODE> => <CODE>A.vert</CODE> and <CODE>V</CODE>
=> <CODE>V.vert </CODE>then this command will produce a vertical kerning
pair between <CODE>A.vert</CODE> + <CODE>V.vert</CODE> with a value of -50)
<DT>
<A NAME="VRemove">Remove</A> All VKern Pairs
<DD>
In the font view removes all vertical kern pairs (and kern classes) in the
font.<BR>
In the outline glyph view removes all kern pairs where the current glyph
is the left hand glyph.<BR>
Not present in the Metrics or Bitmap views.
<DT>
Set <A NAME="vertical">Vertical</A> Advance...
<DD>
If vertical metrics are enabled for the font this will be active in the font
and outline glyph view.<BR>
It behaves exactly like Set Width... except it works on the vertical advance
rather than the horizontal advance (width).
