Iām editing a font for a client. For the smallcaps names, instead of using a.sc, b.sc, c.sc, d.sc, etc., he used asmall, bsmall, csmall, dsmall. Heās also used PUA numbersā¦for argumentās sake, say E001, E002, E003, E004.
When I look at the font in the Glyphs 2 beta, the glyphs are named that way.
When I export the font, the names change to generic uniE001, uniE002, uniE003, uniE004.
Other glyph names also change. uni2117 is named Published and appears that way in Glyphs, it also changes to uni2117. The nbspace is named that, but it changes to uni00A0.
The prefs have āKeep glyph names from imported filesā turned on.
This post isnāt about having Glyphs autobuild the smallcaps feature. I know the glyphs should be named a.sc, b.sc, etc. It is about Glyphs changing the glyph names, when it shouldnāt.
Thereās nothing āwrongā with the way he named the smallcaps. It just isnāt Glyphsā preferred naming scheme. I know I could rename all of the smallcaps characters to the ā.scā suffixā¦Iād prefer not to change his preferred naming scheme.
The point is, Glyphs shouldnāt be changing the glyph names if I have the āKeep glyph names from imported filesā pref turned on.
If a font contains the fivesixths fraction, when Glyphs 2 (actually Glyphs and Glyphs 2 both do it) autobuilds the fraction feature, it includes 2 identical entries for āsub five slash six by fivesixths;ā
The conversion of names on export is controlled by the āUse production namesā in Glyphs 1 and the instance custom parameter āDonāt use Production Namesā in Glyphs 2.
Names in the fonts are only important for certain PDF workflows to allow the reconstruction of the underling unicodes from a list of glyph names. This is more reliable with uniXXXX names and Adobe recommends using them.
The conversion of names on export is controlled by the āUse production namesā in Glyphs 1 and the instance custom parameter āDonāt use Production Namesā in Glyphs 2.
I canāt find that setting in Glyphs 2. Where is it?
Disregardā¦found it. Would you consider moving it back to the prefs so that it doesnāt have to be set for every font? Just askināā¦
As for the namesā¦if Iām creating a font of my own, I try and follow accepted normsā¦if Iām editing a font for a client, I try and follow whatever their practice is, unless itās āwrongā. The way he named his glyphs isnāt wrongā¦it just isnāt the recommended method. 8^)
Since the setting doesnāt carry over from font to font, you do have to set it for every font, and itās hidden away in the instance custom parameter. It was much quicker and the setting was much more obvious in the old version.
You can copy and paste parameters into multiple instance at once.
In Glyphs 1, you could Option-drag a curve segment while locking the handle angle, whereas in G2 you canāt (itās only a on-curve node selection). Could you add this feature? If not, how can I do it alternatively?
Alright. It was a beta testing suggestion. Glyphs is your app and you can create it however you wish. Moving the setting to somewhere more accessible was just a request.
Hi!
Iām about to purchase the latest available version of Glyphs but if the #2.0 will be available in a month or so, thatās probably best to wait and not to spend additional moneyā¦ (iāve read about 50% though)
Have you considered option to offer free update for those whoās purchased v.1.4 in the last couple of months? If so, do you have a date in mind when #2.0 will become available?
No. If you buy a license now, it already is a valid Glyphs 2 license. The grace period started 1 July.
perfect. thanks!
Can I have G1-like master compatibility view? I want them overlapped in the right place, not in diagonal cascade.
Why?
Me too. or at least as an option. I work with three / four / more masters. With the new axis it could be doubled and diagonal view is space wasting in one window.
In G1, I could see accurately how each node transitions from one to another, which is more informative than just showing compatibility. Now itās a mess of lines, especially when I select all.
