Glyphs is such an amazing app, I still keep on finding features that I never dreamt were possible in Glyphs…
It would be amazing if there would be a GUI to visually position marks etc. to base glyphs in contextual positioning [with lookbehind and/or lookahead], like there is in Microsoft Volt.
Currently I write it with mkmk code, but it’s hard to guess the right numbers, for example: pos alef-hb bet-hb dagesh-hb' <50 0 0 0>;
I need to export to InDesign Fonts folder to view every change exactly…
It shows you how the marks will be positioned if the mark (and mkmk) feature is compiled from anchors. I wonder @mekkablue if it could be upgraded to also include positioning if manual/contextual adjustments are present.
The idea is to be able to visually position the mark, also in contextual positioning [i.e. with a lookbehind and/or lookahead].
We’re really excited & can’t wait to see what Georg will come up with!!!
P.S. maybe we could also get a visual list of the classes, like there is in Fontlab…
