The Transform panel contains powerful tools for editing simple glyphs. Contours can be precisely repositioned, resized, moved, skewed, scaled, rotated, or mirrored. Nodes can be repositioned or moved by precise increments.
The Transform panel can be toggled on and off using the F6 shortcut key, but is only available in the Glyph panel.
Note: prior to version 12.0.0.2535 you could also set the glyph’s side-bearings. This is now solely available through the Glyph Properties panel.
