@pcantrell Thanks for sharing this tip! I was experimenting with the vertical metrics recently looking to achieve a similar result as first described in the thread but ran into similar issues. I’ll have to try this out, looks like a viable workaround… but I wonder if Glyphs will automatically re-generate this code when saving or exporting?
Yes. I suspect that the problem is that I started by importing another font for reference, then erasing all of its glyphs — but retaining imported Glyphs settings that I could neither see nor edit.
(Thank you for using a human-readable file format!)
This doesn’t appear to be the case. I’m editing the .glyphs file, not the generated font, so I’m changing the input of the edit+import process and not the output.
I must just be incredibly dense. I don’t see it in the popup that appears when I click a user, or on the user profile page.
Below are screenshots of what I see in this form (on the left), and the equivalent two UI fragments from a different Discourse-based forum, with the “Message” button showing in the upper right as expected:
I converted my standard glyphs to Category “icon”, and the bounding box is 1000 w x 800 w for each one, and I am having to edit each one to make it 1000 x 1000 because I can’t find a way in the GUI to do it (note, I removed all the metrics for the font). Is there a script or something I can use to do this batch? I wasn’t sure which of the classes contains the relevant width/height information.
