[request] Hide font labels; column display (w/ sidebearing?)

[tiroj]

Nice tool!

I'm interested in the possibility of using FontGoggles for visual review of glyph design and spacing consistency across a family. For that, I find it helpful to have the glyphs directly proximate to each other, so wonder if you can add a View option to hide font labels, allowing the lines of preview text to be moved closer together and without visual noise from the labels.

For the same purpose, I like to be able to look at glyphs in a grid, so they're aligned veritcally and horizontally, so wonder if a columns view could be implemented? In column view, it would also be nice to have an option to display sidebearings, to be enable visual checking of spacing consistency.

I'll add an option to hide the labels, thanks.

In your second question I don't really recognize FontGoggles' core business, which is text and variations behavior. It sounds like something a font editor should offer.

Hide font labels has been implemented, and will be in the next release.
