Hello all -
Interested in jumping in, but trying to make the decision between Mini 2 and Glyphs 3 full. I’m an absolute beginner as I’ve had really only experience in using Fontself Maker via Illustrator which is pretty basic. I’m leaning Mini, but I wouldn’t want to get stuck having to pay to upgrade if it gets updated to 3 in the next year, and couldn’t find anything here or on the site about this.
Thanks in advance
There is no set date for an update. And we usually set a good grace period for free upgrade. But you should see if you need the features of the full app or not.
Got it, thanks.
I downloaded and burned through my trial by more than a year ago without trying it out seriously, but I’m trying Glyphs Mini through Setapp now for a bit to decide where I’m going.
Unless I’m missing something, some of the default key shortcuts for drawing are not working for me, for example, pressing return to convert a node to rounded. Having trouble finding anything about that in the manual and the forums. Any quick suggestions? If not I’ll make a new thread for it. Thanks!
Maybe this answers the question:
Got it. Definitely a shift from what I’m used to. Was expecting to take a corner and turn it into a smooth bezier curve with a button or keystroke.
I did end up going for Glyphs 3 due to what appeared to be poor draw performance as a rosetta app on my M1 Max 14", in the end.
Thanks for your answers.
