The main window displays only one glyph at a time. When hinting, you review and adjust the same glyph outline at many sizes, so you will change sizes often before you finish hinting a particular glyph. When you change sizes, the outline shows any hinting already applied to the glyph.
Visual TrueType offers several ways to change the point size of the glyph. You can use the size run, the keyboard, or commands from the Size submenu of the Display menu.
The Size menu lists the most common sizes for hinting. You can use the Other Point Size command to specify any other size between 4 points and 255 points.
If the Size menu doesn’t list the size you want, use the Other Point Size command.
