How would I create a font in glyphs lite that will print black and white on a colored background with no reverse contours
Can you show an example what you mean?
A rough sample to show what I mean
You need either a color font or two fonts that are put on top of each other. Color fonts are not supported in Glyphs Mini and layered fonts are possible but a bit cumbersome.
This are the tutorials (for the full Glyphs)
