Adding a value to all sidebearings

Glyphs

Hi,

I made kerning groups and set the values. It’s looking good but I want to increase the values. For example +50 to all.
Is there any easy way to add 50 to all kerning values.
OR
+50 to all left and right side bearings? (This will also work in my case)

Thanks…

You can add values to sidebearings in Filter > Transformations > Metrics

That’s not exactly what i’m asking for i guess? Filter makes all values the same.

Forexample:

10< A >10
40< B >35

these are my side bearing values. I want to add 50 to all values.

10+50< A >10+50
40+50< B >35+50

final:

60< A >60
90< B >85

That’s exactly what the filter does, put in 50 in LSB and RSB field and check relative checkbox, it will add 50 units to respective SB values.

‘check relative checkbox’

Now it works. I didn’t check that at first time.
Thank you… :slight_smile:

You are asking about changing kerning but it seems you actually meen spacing. Please be careful with the term.

I took the liberty to adjust the title of the thread, for future reference.

:slight_smile: no I didn’t mean spacing. I meant kerning but i think my english is not enough to explain. :slight_smile:

any way, the problem is solved…

If you want to have extra space by kerning, you might get away with adding a feature class called All (or AllLetters if you want it only between actual letters) via File > Font Info > Features > + and then add a feature called kern with the following code:

pos @AllLetters <30 0 60 0>;

This adds 30 units extra on either side of each and every letter.

Great… that worked… thanks
