It'd be useful to have an option in preferences to set the default string that Fony uses for previewing text (by default the panel on the left side). So for example in addition to the whole list of glyphs as it is now it could also be set to include "Hamburgefons", "Hamburgefontsiv", "HAMBURGEFONSTIV" or maybe some typical paragraphs or whatever other pangrams one has to use. Also it'd be super handy if this preview (or just part of it, much more practical) could be exported as a bitmap, this is because certain software prints text on the screen by grabbing bits of graphics from a bitmap image (so they don't use a fnt file) and every program that uses this approach usually requires the glyphs to be in order slightly differently from other programs using this approach. Right now what I do is I just input all the characters in the order I need them into the preview window, grab a screenshot and trim it, but it's a bit cumbersome. Hope this makes sense

Good idea, I'll implement this when I have time to work on Fony. Fony has bitmap export functionality which will let you do this. However, currently the exported bitmap will only contain one long row of glyphs, so if you require the glyphs in a grid layout, you will still have to do some manual editing. This is something I'm planning to improve in the future.
