Pretty much the title. I’d like to work on a font that has a proportional and a mono master. Setting IsFixedPitch in Font Info therefore doesn’t make sense – setting it in the export menu feels a bit doesn’t really make a lot of sense to me. Is there a way I could put the same information into a master? Or a reason we don’t have the setting there but in export?
A mixed setup like yours is currently not possible.
For now, you can once in a while select all glyphs and assign a width in font view.

Why? It is a Boolean value, so it cannot be interpolated and therefore makes little sense in a master. It either makes sense for the complete font or as override in an export.

There are, increasingly, projects that interpolate along a MONO axis.
Admittedly, they look horrible in between, but hey. Technically speaking, I can see the purpose of having the parameter on one master and not the other, in order to ensure correct exports of the static mono instance(s).
What you describe is an argument for the exports tab.
I just checked the code and it is actually possible already. Add a .monospace number value to the mono-master. and use the desired width as value.
