The Nearest Point feature is only available if you are working on a Nearest Point font.
Nearest point fonts require four versions for each character. The Nearest Point icon shows which character version you are working on. Click another Nearest Point icon to select a different version.
The Nearest Point icons are unavailable if you are not working on a nearest point font.
Identifying Start and End Points
You can easily see the start and end points of each character by looking for the Color Change at the start and the red end point of the last object on the FilmStrip. This is especially useful when checking through a nearest point font to make sure that the start and end points are in the right place for each character definition.
For hints on designing Nearest Point fonts, see Nearest Point Fonts.
