I have a glyph where normal and bold masters need to stay in sync (Box drawing characters for example, they are the same between all masters). So, if I make a change in one master, I need to copy the outlines to another. This becomes really tedious and painful.
Any suggestions on how best to do this? I tried copying and pasting (also tried paste special) but it doesn’t update the original glyph. It just creates another glyph.001.
Any ideas?
I keep returning to my own answer for reference, it wasn’t crystal clear so here is the exact settings you need to have checked in order to mass-copy many glyphs from one layer to the other.
Mekkablue’s script Copy Layer to Layer is a good way too. Copy between fonts or within the same font, even copy another font/layer into the background layer.
In the regular version of Glyphs, you can install the scripts and plugins using the Plugin Manager. If you are using Glyphs Mini, I don’t know anything about it.
