Hi, I followed the Contextual Alternates tutorial step-by-step (included below) and everything worked out and was going great, exactly how the tutorial describes. Then I started adding punctuation and numerals, in a separate “Etc” class, and I stopped being able to access the CALT features tab, which now has a red exclamation mark.
Features, part 3: advanced contextual alternates | Glyphs
Please let me know what I’m missing if you know, thanks in advance for the help!
That means you have a syntax error in your feature code. What do you see when you open it in font info?
I also see the red exclamation point. I could reduce it to this test file:
Test.glyphs (5.9 KB)
No syntax errors are shown in the feature code editor.
Glyphs 3.0.2 (3050)
Thank you for responding! It seemed to be that there were some glyphs I created through Glyphs>New Glyph as opposed to generating them from their respective tabs. The code itself didn’t have errors. I had attempted to create a secondary numeral set through naming (similar to A.001, A.002), but I think I can work around it by generating them in oldstyle figures.
All good now, and the exported font works great with OpenType!
@blossom The way you make the glyphs should not matter. As long as the name is right at the end.
@FlorianPircher Thanks for the test file. We have a look.
Florian, I’ve identifier the cause of your particular issue. (Not sure how it relates to the original poster’s issue; cannot tell without more details or a .glyphs file.) Working on a fix. Thanks again for a nice and clear test file. Good work as usual!
Fixed!
The issue persists in 3.0.2 (3052) with the test file from above. I assume it is fixed in the next cutting edge release.
That’s correct. The fix didn’t make it for the 3052 build, unfortunately.
