Using the Menu Ribbon
The FontAgent® menu system is organized into command families. When you click one of the command family names (About, Home, View, Font, Set and Share) in the menubar, FontAgent displays a horizontal ribbon of commands in that family.
You can use a variety of keyboard shortcuts to save time when issusing common commands. These shortcuts also appear as pop-up hints when you hover over commands in the menu ribbons.
