I was working on an Arabic project and added uniFCF3 in the font. The components were not properly made and showed “Bad reference” mark, which was fine. What was not fine was that, as long as that mark was present in the glyph, the width was increasing incredibly fast, like 1,000,000 units per second.
More issues with the same Glyphs version (on High Sierra) 1. Decomposing glyphs that are compatible on both masters become incompatible (Nested components in particular) !! 2.Not all anchors positions are preserved after decomposing Glyphs
The crashing on closing a file was discussed in several threads already. It is caused by an outdated plugin. Please update by opening the Plugin Manager or manually re-download them when you installed them manually.
There seems to be a new issue with v2.5b (1114). When placing a component, the names of each glyph are no longer displayed adjacent to the glyph drawing.
Also, occasionally I am finding that the keyboard shortcut for zoom in and zoom out (command + spacebar (+ option) and mouse click) tends to freeze on multiple mouse clicks. Resetting the view with command + zero fixes it for a while. It’s only a minor annoyance, but this has been happening for me since v2.5b (1113).
When you rename a glyph by typing a unicode character, name duplication is not checked. For example, if I already have odieresis and want to rename some other glyph to the same but by typing ö directly, I end up having both as odieresis.
I’ve been trying to isolate the cause of my zoom problem, previously reported to Support – it stops enlarging at 500 point or sometimes 2000 point in my case – I but haven’t found a particular plugin that might be causing it. It does not seem to be tied to any editing action.
It will automatically add the unicode of the lowercase if those are not in the font. You might like to rename the Omega to Ohm if you don’t have a full coverage of Greek.
