I can’t get the bracket trick to work on a variable font I’m working on.
I have Weight(20–200) and Width(0–900) axis with 4 masters.
The preview area shows it correctly and so does the Variable Font Prievew plugin.
However, when I test it in Axis Praxis and Illustrator only the bracketed layers are used.
I would also like the bar to break sooner in the condensed styles than the wide styles. But that doesn’t seem possable right now. I tried adding the width axis like “Wide Black [90, 400]” but that doesn’t produce the correct result.
I think something changed with bracket layers in the most recent Glyphs update.
I tested an older varable font of mine that uses bracket layers and it worked as expected.
I re-exported it in the current Glyphs version without changing anything and the glyph swapping stopped working.
There was a bug that would create wrong values under certain circumstances, maybe it is not completely fixed yet. Can you send me the file please? Just with the Cent symbol, that suffices.
I suppose you mean a glyphs file with just the relevant glyphs? I’ve sent you a link to it. It’s working for cent but not for dollar.onum. (and there’s this odd up-and-down shift happening with cent.) These were working in an earlier version of Glyphs–but sorry, I don’t know which.
