Glyphs 2 Beta

I dont understand. what is the difference between Yodyod and doubleYod?

It is the same unicode glyph and I suppose it shouldn’t be showing twice, Further to that when using as a component it cause a confusion.

Regarding the 1st note of Disappearing glyphs (in Right -to-Left typesetting Preview) after applying “Use as Master” on a layer … this is not related to a language… you may check it with Latin also.

can you show a screenshot?

I just updated the last version. I changed some settings (color of angles) in the preferences, and now it crashes as soon as I touch a node…

Can you delete the prefs and try again?

Fonthausen · February 20, 2015, 10:48pm

What I can try, is to reinstall. I had to continue and I used Time Machine to use the old version.

Wait 5 min.

Fonthausen · February 20, 2015, 10:55pm

Looks that it might have worked.

If you want to trace it back:
Before it crashed last time, I tried to check out if the selection color had become independent of the OS marking color. So I switched a few times back and forth between system prefs and G2. Then I change the setting of the color of angles. Then booom…

Fonthausen · February 20, 2015, 10:59pm

Mmmh. Crashed again…

Now I did not try to change any settings.

OS 10.9.5

Where did you get the doubleyod-hb from? yodyodpatah-hb should be build from yodyod-hb + patah-hb. And sometimes, the automatic components are meant as a starting point. You can decompose them to change the outlines.

GeorgSeifert · February 20, 2015, 11:57pm

Fixed it. Please get the update.

I figured it out ... I used the Unicode name Yiddish Double Yod of 05F2 where the Glyphsapp built-in name is YodYod !

GeorgSeifert · February 21, 2015, 4:27pm

if you don't know the correct name, put the actual glyph in the name field (by typing on the keyboard) or use the uniXXXX name. Both will be converted to the correct name.

OK thanks
BTW, I just updated to V. 696
A big like for the new glyph window UI controls

Fonthausen · February 21, 2015, 8:27pm

I just installed 696 and it looks nice ! Thanks

Avantino · February 21, 2015, 9:02pm

Is there anybody experiencing crashes with Remove Overlap filter ?!

Avantino · February 21, 2015, 9:20pm

Now it seems a bug (V. 696) ; also the Overlap button of the toolbox results a crash like the Overlap filter.

GeorgSeifert · February 21, 2015, 9:20pm

I fixed that crash. Will update soon.

Could we perhaps have an option for a floating palette, just like in Glyphs 1? Also there is a small bug in the tabs when there is too much text, the x overlaps the text. Nothing serious, just saw it today.
