FontLab can print the content of the current Font or Glyph window with File > Print… (CmdP on macOS, CtrlP on Windows).

Before you print:

  1. Choose the font master.
  2. To change the glyph size, choose the number of columns in the bottom-right corner of the Font window.
  3. To apply filters, to show or hide unfiltered glyphs, and to change the captions and the sorting, use the Property bar and the Sidebar.

  2. To change the text size, tap T to activate the Text tool and change the Text size in the Property bar, or open View > Control Bars > Sidebar and change the Text size there.

The contents from the Glyph window or the Sketchboard can be exported as PDF or SVG files using the File > Export > Window Contents menu.
