How can I see guides when I zoom out?
For me they disappear in 105 pt
What version of Glyphs and macOS are you on? This is a known issue with the recent macOS update.
glyphs: 3.4 (3417)
mac: 11.7.10
The guides are hidden below a certain zoom level.
The idea is that you can’t really see much in smaller zoom levels and hiding the guides reduces the noise.
Any particular reason you need the guides when zoomed out?
I need them while editing a glyph and comparing with other glyphs when zooming out
For me its 105 pt. can I control that zoom level? something like 50 pt?
This is hard coded. I’ll have a look.
How can you edit glyphs when zoomed out so much?
I added a userDefault to change it. In the next cutting edge version you can change it by running this in the Macro Window:
Glyphs.intDefaults["GSGuideZoomThreshold"] = 50

Compare the glyph with others in the text. For me, it’s useful for sidebaring, weight, angles, and …
Very cool. Thanks so much
But how are guides useful for this?
