Glyphs does not preserve some tables of an imported TTF

FSanches · May 17, 2019, 2:03am

I loaded a TTF binary using File->Open. Did nothing and exported a TTF via File->Export… (Save as TTF).

The original TTF had OS/2.fsType equal to zero, while the new one sets a bit (bit 3 = “Editable embedding”).

The TTF load routine should read the value of OS/2.fsType and automatically setup a Custom Parameter on the GlyphsApp font project.

I’d also like to suggest that the fsType custom param edit dialog should list fsType=zero as “Installable” instead of “not set”.

Thanks for the report. It’s fixed.
