The Glyph Window
Adding a Component
To add a component to a glyph currently open in the Glyph window, select
the Add Component command from the Glyph window context menu.
You will see a dialog box that is similar to the Find Glyph dialog box:
The only difference is that only those glyphs that can be used as component
glyphs will appear. Of course, a glyph cannot be a component for itself.
A composite glyph can be used as a component glyph. It is automatically
converted to source components.
Another difference is that you can set the position by entering its X
(horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates. The component position is the
distance between the composite zero point and the component’s zero point.
To add a component you select the glyph you want to use as a component
in this dialog box and press the OK button.
Another way to add a component is to drag it from the Font Window and
drop it in the Glyph Window while the CTRL key is pressed.
