A Unicode and orthography info window for Glyphs.app.
Bring up the Unicode Info window via Window > Unicode Info.
When a glyph is selected, or you are editing a glyph, press the Query button to update the information displayed in the Unicode Info window.
The top section shows the Unicode name of the queried glyph, as well as the codepoint and the expected glyph name. If there is a mismatch, the smiley will look angry.
-
Assign All assigns Unicodes to all glyphs based on their names. When you use the automatic naming in Glyphs, this should never be necessary.
-
↑↓ Case jumps to the corresponding uppercase or lowercase version of the current glyph. In the Edit view, your current glyph will be exchanged with the cased version. In the Font view, the selection is changed from the current glyph to the cased glyph.
Under Block, the Unicode block which the queried character belongs to is shown. A check mark next to the dropdown menu indicates that your font completely supports this block.
-
Show can only be used in the Font view and shows all characters your font contains from the selected Unicode block at the top of the Font view. Before you can show another block, you must press Reset Filter.
-
Fill Block adds placeholder glyphs for all missing characters of the selected block to your font.
Under Usage, the dropdown contains a list of all orthographies that use the queried character. A check mark next to the dropdown menu indicates that your font completely supports the currently selected orthography.
If you check Include optional characters, those will be taken into account for the Show and Fill operations.
-
Show can only be used in the Font view and shows all characters your font contains from the selected orthography at the top of the Font view. Before you can show another orthography, you must press Reset Filter.
-
Fill Orth. adds placeholder glyphs for all missing characters of the selected orthography to your font.
Whenever you select an orthography that is not fully supported, a list of missing codepoints is printed to the console of the Macro panel.
- When "custom naming" is active, the results of the Fill buttons are unreliable and may lead to duplicate glyphs.
