I would have thought this would be as simple as entering a long string of text, but it seems oddly difficult to preview more than 1 line (vertical line) of text in the preview pane of Fontlab 5. I can't find an option for this either. Do I need to use line break "characters" some how? Surely this is possible.
\n = line break, e.g.:
Insert a line break\nbefore this
I think the only automatically line break is available in the Metrics window.
Uh, thanks John! Never knew that before.
Thanks, John.
Edit: never mind, was thinking Metrics window rather than Preview panel.
