I’m using Import Font in my Glyphs project to reference external glyphs. However, I noticed that automatically generated OpenType features (like liga, vert, etc.) only include glyphs that are in the main file, not the imported ones.
It would be great if imported glyphs could also be included in auto feature generation. This would make modular font development easier and reduce manual work.
Which exact version are you using?
I’m currently using version 3.3.1.
That should be fixed in the latest cutting edge version.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I’ve tested the latest cutting edge version (3.4, Build 3416), but unfortunately, the problem still remains.
Yeah, I can confirm Feature Generator is currently broken for imported fonts. Sorry about that. Workaround: Update the features in the original file, deactivate the automation there, copy the features (select the feature tags in the left sidebar and press ⌘C), and paste them in the host font, then sort the imported features next to the ones that do work. It is OK to have the same tag twice.
Thanks for reporting this. I fixed it. should work fine in the next version.
