Adjusting working character set(s) / Jump to character / Adjust Multiple sidebearings plugin



Creating a character set work with as opposed to seeing everything. See the screenshots below.
Start by accessing Window > View








How do you get multiple glyph window / spacing center to show up?
Hold cmd + click the space center or the glyph you wish to edit.





Jump to character
I noticed a lot of people have been closing and opening individual window to modify the characters, the default hot key to jump to another character is 'j'  (can be changed in preferences)



Marking glyphs for workflow purposes.
You can mark a glyph by selecting the mark icon on the main panel.



You can customize marking colors in Robofont > Preferences > Misc


Font Bureau has a usefol tool to adjust the spacing of multiple characters. Link to instructions below.
