Dear Glyphs team!

Working with Glyphs’s strokes is working very well and I’m happy this feature has been added. However, I’m very missing one small feature I’m acquainted working with in other vector applications: the possibility to round the corners with the same radius as the terminals.

While it is already possible to round the stroke’s terminals, it would be great to have also the possibility to round the corners of a stroke in the same radius. Especially for creating rounded typefaces this would render a big advantage.

Currently, the only option for a stroke’s corners is that they are sharp:

With the feature I propose, there could be a toggle in the UI as in this mock-up (see the bottom right corner):

 ![visualisation](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/b/7/b78d9f84cee076bdc4f3bce7fc7317e771bf9c7a.png)

Switching to the rounded option would round the corner with a radius which is equal to half of the stroke’s width, as it works for the stroke’s terminals (mock-up):

 ![Bildschirmfoto 2022-02-05 um 18.19.09](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/7/9/7990642ba78c9b4718493722ba08d41c84808a00.jpeg)

This would come in very handy and I’d appreciate if you could consider my proposal! 😊

Best regards,  
Basti

As I need a lot of monoline typefaces for pen plotting and laser engraving I second this!

Hi! Has there been any progress on this? I am in the same boat and would like to round the corners of these corners non-destructively. Thanks.

I’ve explored using Glyphs to create a font for a keyboard legend design and truly miss this feature, too.

hello, is there any update on this?  
workaround is to cut the paths, but obviously this isn’t ideal…

Great to hear that!  
I was just searching for this, Right now I’m using separate strokes to have the same effect, but it feels like the wrong thing to do (and has issues with variable fonts).

I really was searching for this feature, similar to illustrator having three corner options **(Miter, Round and Bevel )**

Thanks in advance and your efforts in development of this fantastic app!

Great to hear that you’re making progress.  
The rounded corners filter, sadly, does not do the trick. And has some weird errors with narrow corners.

Can you send me some examples where the round corner filter doesn’t produce desirable results?

Hi sorry for the lack of response, I never got a notification.  
Anyways I’m getting some weird rounding errors with my glyphs:

 ![Scherm­afbeelding 2024-10-25 om 08.57.40](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/d/0/d06cffb0e643093448f60fb1611a21ca36d23173.png)

Using the rounded corner script isn’t really a non-destructible way of working, right?

The rounded corners I want to use are just too steep for the script I guess.

Anyways the font I’m working on is open-source, so that might help:

Any updates on the round corners? , it only works with the ends of the open strokes, not with corners yet!  
And the temporary solution is to use the Round corner filter.
