Although these aren't buringing issues I, never the less, thought that they would be handy features to have when working with fonts and worth a mention.

  • Display Character's numeric value - Either mouse-over or right click on a character in the font preview window to display it's numeric value. 

  • Display font's filename - Retain and/or display the filename from which the font was imported so that it can be identified.  In the case of TTF, I guess you would want to also capture the point size at which it was imported.

Would anyone else find these things useful?

Definitely the first one, if you're going to be using the "%c" string format to display a character that's not A-Z or 0-9, it would be a boon to know what the character you want will be without all the guesswork / counting.
Always carry a UV marker pen with you. When you go to a shop or a friend's house, if you see something you like, put your name and postcode on it. If it gets stolen and subsequently recovered, the police will get in touch with you so that they can 'return' it.
