Combining Brace- and Bracket-Trick

Glyphs
1

Hey there,

I have a glyph using the basic “brace trick” with all the required layers, which works fine. But after adding an additional “bracket trick” layer to the same letter, Glyphs tells me that the outlines are all of a sudden incompatible.

Is this a known bug?

I never tried this. Perhaps, instead of the Bracket trick, try using the Replace Glyphs parameter: https://www.glyphsapp.com/tutorials/alternating-glyph-shapes-with-multiple-axes

Thanks, I will have a look.

The brace layer might “bridge” the otherwise independent interpolation. Can you post the layer names?

5

Here is an overview of my layer names. I think this way they do not interfere with each other, right?

6

and the intermediate is compatible with the Light and Bold?

7

Yes. The Intermediate works fine in combination with the Light and the Bold. At the same time, the bracket layers work well together with the basic ones as well. But as soon as I add the braces value to the Intermediate Layer, it becomes incompatible.

Have you tried exporting and checking if the exported file has the expected results?

9

Can you send me the file?

I understand it now but have no solution for now.
