If you make sure you always attach the circle and the triangle to nodes, you only need to hint the first master. If your paths are point-compatible, which they need to be anyway, Glyphs will automatically apply the hints to all instances. Nice!
I have an older font where this makes for a bit ackward “Regular” master as the first master, followed by “Thin” and “Black” (it would be nicer to keep it in the middle). Somehow I recall having read somewhere about a custom parameter to set to select any other than the first master for replicating the PS hints to all masters, but I can neither find, guess nor remember — or am I just imaging?
I have a question about this, since I’ve came across this custom parameter numerous times in the forum.
I assume the Get Hints From Master is inserted into the instances parameters?
This is how it looks when I try to do it. It seems like it doesn’t let me set the, or any master at all, of which the instances should take Hints from.
So I have 2 masters (UltraLight & ExtraBlack).
I have to only hint 1 master (let’s say UltraLight) and the custom parameter, I set will also hint the ExtraBlack master and all the instances in-between?
