Tags allow you to mark glyphs so they appear with a background color in the Font panels. The same color is shown on the tab bar for glyph panels. To tag a glyph, right click on one or more selected glyphs and select one of the tags from the Tag submenu, use the keyboard shortcut keys (Ctrl + 1-5) or drag and drop them from the font panel onto one of the tag categories. You can view all glyphs that have a tag by selecting the Tagged category from the categories panel or select one of the tag subcategories to view all glyphs that have a specific tag assigned to them.

 

You can select glyphs with a specific tag through Select Tagged command from the Edit menu.

 

Toggle Tags

To untag a glyph, you can either select Tag None, or tag the glyph again.

 

Note: Each glyph can only have one tag, but you can also specify a tag per layer.

 

By default a new font allows you use 5 different tags, but you can easily add more through the Tags Options dialog. Select Tools -> Tags Options from the main menu.
