==== basic workflow ====

  * change focus to 'Casses' 
  * press 'New' 
  * enter fontsize in dialog & open a font file (e.g something in OTF)
  * charaters should be availble in a tray
  * if you want to enter characters using the keyboard (rather than by character name) ensure "Use Cmap" is selected
  * type some text using the keyboard. this text should appear in the "Composteur"
  * if required, select and move the various letters
  * press return to display the line in the "forme" (same in [en])
  * move line around as required 
  * select line in the "forme" to make changes in the "Composteur"
