Hello!
For some reasons I’m working with Fontlab Studio and Glyphs at the same time, on the very same file, in the Arabic script.
When we open the Glyphs 2 files in FontLab, the kernings are fully imported. But for Glyphs 3 files, RTL kernings are not imported in Fontlab.
In Glyphs, when the number of masters is large, manually moving the kerning from the previous file is annoying.
I also tried the import metrics option and mekkablue, but these only imports the classes.
Is there a solution to display RTL kernings in fontlab?
Or a way in Glyphs to import all the kernings at once from another Glyphs file?
Thanks.
You should be able to set the file version to Glyphs 2 in Font Info > Other. That should produce the same file as when saved from Glyphs 2. But not all Glyphs 3 features are supported.
FontLab would need to updated their .glyphs file im/export. There are several issues with it that are not fixed for some time.
What feature do you use in FontLab?
I had previously tried to set the version to 2, but it gave an error related to RTL kerning. Anyway it worked now!
I have worked in FontLab for many years and I am used to it. In general, it has more features, or maybe more accessible. Of course, it is a bit crowded and confusing.
but It is much easier for me to create forms and work with variable in Fontlab.
