# 3DO FontWriter windows

When the progress dialog disappears, the 3DO FontWriter displays four windows:

- Character Edit window
- Preview window
- Character Map
- Sample Text window

This section provides an overview of the Character Edit window. A detailed discussion of all windows is provided in Chapter 2.

## Character Edit window overview

The Character Edit window lets you display and edit a number of individual characters in the font. It provides:

- The currently displayed character, and its ASCII code in the top-left corner.
- Drawing tools for editing characters.
- A pop-up color selector below the drawing tools.
- The current image selector.
- A display of an anti-aliased character for editing.

### Character selection

You can specify which character to view by:

  - Typing the character.
  - Using the scroll bar.
  - Selecting the character from the Character Map, which you can display using the View menu.

For a font with outlines or shadows, use the current image selector to choose the actual character image (top) or the shadow/outline image (bottom).
