Font Encoding Editor

The Font Encoding Editor displays the current encoding table for the style and is used to edit the encoding table if necessary.

The encoding table is style-specific. Editing the encoding table for one style does not affect the table for another style, even if it uses the same font. Encoding tables are saved in the PlanetPress Document (.pp7 file).

Font Encoding Options:

View: Use the drop-down to control the information that appears above each glyph in the table. The encoding table currently associated with the font determines the values associated with each glyph.
- Select Name to display the name of glyph.
- Select Decimal to display the position of each glyph in the encoding table as a decimal value.
- Select Hex to display the position of each glyph in the encoding table as a hexadecimal value.
- Select ANSI to display the ANSI equivalent of each glyph.
- Select Unicode to display the Unicode equivalent of each glyph.
- Select Width to display the width of each glyph.
Encoding: Use the drop-down to select the encoding table to use as a starting point. Alternatively, import the encoding table to use as a starting point. Note that the ISO Latin-9 encoding table includes the euro symbol.
Export this Encoding: Click to open a Save As dialog to save the current encoding setup as a file on the system. This file is PlanetPress-specific with the .enc extension.
Import Encoding: Click to open an Open dialog to browse to an existing .enc file and load the encoding from that file. This will overwrite the current encoding setup.
Encoding Table: Displays each glyph in the encoding table with its appropriate position (Determined by the View drop-down). Drag a glyph from one position to the other to swap glyphs between those to positions.
- A grey position indicates that no glyph is associated with that position.
- A yellow position indicates that a glyph is associated with that position.
- The glyph itself is displayed under the position title.
Available glyphs: Displays a list of all available glyphs, ordered by unicode value (in parenthesis). Drag a glyph from the list to any position in the Encoding Table to assign the glyph to that position, or use the Transfer button or double-click the glyph to assign the glyph to the currently selected position in the Encoding Table.
Preview Text Editor: Use the edit box to modify the text displayed in the Preview box.
Preview Box: Displays the text from the editor above, using the currently active glyph configuration in the Encoding Table.
