Almost perfect

Great app, very fluid and feature-filled. Only gripe seems to be a limited support for some non-latin characters.

Adding latin-extended with a font that I know contains the characters wouldn't display/generate them
Being able to paste into the character set textbox would be great too <:

Inadequate Documentation

Unfortunately this app does not come with truly contextual help and the entire help file is a single sheet of information and is in my opinion inadequate. I am unable to control the spacing of fonts which then overwrite and truncate those adjacent. Changing multiple options related to spacing have failed to resolve the issue. Frustrating. Writing detailed and contextual help is tedious but it is an important responsibility of a developer and forms part of the value of what is being purchased.
