Add Missing glyph help!

First of all—I think my purchase of the glyphs app is one of my best decisions! great app!

QUESTION:

LAZY SYMBOLS—after adding the custom parameter to each instance and exporting. I can’t preview the generated symbols in fontbook app—plus, the names of the glyphs are not the right one (like plus, minus, etc they are all named as glyph(#).

HELP!

This is my first post here Hello community!

I recommend to not use this parameter but to draw the missing glyphs that you actually need. The synthesized glyphs will always look out of place.

This is probably a font cache problem. Read this please:

You should use the Adobe Fonts folder instead:

Also, keep in mind that lazy symbol glyphs are incompatible with TrueType-based fonts, i.e., TTF and most webfont formats.
