Hi all, I’m new to Glyphs but have been using Illustrator to make some fonts for personal use. I’ve come across something that is odd to me so I thought I’d ask the good people here.
I’m attempting to insert a new point to a path using the Pen tool and this seems to work as expected. however, I want this new point to have Bezier handles. I’ve read that you should hold down the option key and click your new point again and bam handles. but what happens instead is that I get a little arrow and the path is actually cut at the path.
am I doing something obviously wrong? Can anybody help out?
So, I’ve tried Option Clicking the path and it just adds a Point with no handles. And I just get a normal non-bezier handled point. as seen in this Gif. If I option-click a point it does the split thing.
@mekkablue oh I wish I would have found this video earlier. thank you so much. When I make handles on a line is there anyway to make those actual handles larger? Since mine are very very small. I’m going to see if there is a setting but it doesnt hurt to ask here. Thanks again.
And you are running it in native mode, not retina (double resolution)? That way, everything in MacOS will be way to small. And with double resolution, everything will be to big. So for 27", you need either 2560 or 5120 pixels. And 4K pixels fit on 21"-23" (in Retina mode) or +30" in native mode. Unfortunately not many screens fit that metric.
