Is the minimum unit for the coordinates and translation distance of nodes in glyphs 1. What do I need to do if I want to assign coordinates to nodes (100.5,100.5) instead of (101,101)?
You can define a finer grid in Font Info > Other. Set the subdivision to 2. Or 10 if you need 10.1
.
Those coordinates can be exported to OTF, but not to TrueType and Variable fonts. If that is an issue, you can increase the UPM (units per em) in Font Info > Font. Use the arrow button to rescale the whole font to 2000 or 4000 units.
thanks very much
