#glyphsapp — Public Fediverse posts

Check the glyph widths of your #GlyphsApp font against common #unitization systems (#Selectric, #Linotype, #Monotype ...) with this updated version of my Glyph Width Histogram script:

What would be the correct way to handle discretionary ligatures inside Glyphs (especially for arrow symbols)?

I'm currently doing it like this, while also having the original arrow symbols inside the typeface.

Playing around with arrow ligatures in Arcticons Sans.

My projects are never simple. Now I have to do backwards #TrueType hinting, i.e. make it look all wrong in #GlyphsApp so it will look correct in the exported font.
(This is triggered by setting the units per em to a different value in the export settings. Makes the TT hinting blow up.)
