AltGr is the RightAlt key and it's used on many European keyboard layouts. It should be treated differently from the LeftAlt. AltGr is a fast and convenient way to input various symbols, practically doubling (combined with Shift) the total number of symbols available. Good for testing kerning etc.\r\n\r\nThank you for your effort. FF is getting better and better on Windows!\r\nAlex"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/fontforge/fontforge/issues/comments/104993141","html_url":"https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues/2156#issuecomment-104993141","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/fontforge/fontforge/issues/2156","id":104993141,"user":{"login":"jtanx","id":5137410,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5137410?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx","html_url":"https://github.com/jtanx","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jtanx/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-05-24T08:50:36Z","updated_at":"2015-05-24T08:50:36Z","body":"@AlexandruCobzas, please try this [test build](http://sourceforge.net/projects/fontforgebuilds/files/i686/Portable/FontForge-mingw-w64-i686-d17f76-r1.7z).

French layout keyboard - if it is not, then try changing `fr` to your country code (e.g. `de` for German layout and `ca` for Canada - if `ca`, specify `-xkbvariant fr` for Canadian French layout etc.). It also allows switching to a standard US keyboard layout by pressing Ctrl+Shift. \r\n\r\nNote that in the \"Open Font Dialog\" you can only type ASCII characters, but everywhere else you should be able to use your desired keyboard layout."}}
