[Fontforge-devel] Glyph lists in matrix edit controls

[Alexey K. <ana...@ya...>]

Hi,

I have just noticed editing glyph classes is still hardly possible in
the current CVS version. The small button which displays the glyph
selection dialog is now always visible, but that doesn't help very
much, because

1) the button is actually not clickable, unless I scroll the matrix
edit control to the right edge;

2) the display of the matrix edit control is not properly updated
during the horizontal scrolling (i. e. the button is drawn multiple
times).

Except the described effects (which look extremely ugly) there are some
minor issues which make editing OT lookups a bit inconvenient. First
of all, as I have mentioned previously, the "Glyphs in the classes"
list in the contextual substitution dialog is sometimes sized too small
vertically. I think it would be reasonalble to always display at least
one or two lines except "Everything else", as otherwise working with the
list is not possible without resizing the dialog.

Also, it is now possible to resize the glyph selection dialog, but
it would be nice if the dimensions and glyph cell size could be
preserved in the preferences.

But of course I still think returning to the older GUI would be the
best option.
