Lowercase same as Uppercase

[mekkablue (Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer)]

I deleted the lowercase characters and added them again thinking that that would remove the A=a substitution.

How did you add them?

There is nothing in the /a glyph, but when I type an /a an /A appears instead, even if there are no lowercase glyphs.

Make sure Caps Lock is not on. Where are you testing your font? Are you using the Adobe Fonts folder? http://www.glyphsapp.com/tutorials/testing-your-fonts-in-adobe-apps

Where is the code talking about the sub defined in the OTF, I must need to remove the code manually still, but I did not find it in the font info palette.

If you did it with the method described above, there is no such code. The lowercase was just a copy of the uppercase.

Thanks! For some reason, it kept adding component uppercase glyphs in the lowercase after I deleted the lowercase. The problem fixed itself.

How would this work for (contextual alternates)? That also when typing the lowercase my alternates (which now only exist as A.ss01 and not as a.ss01) would be used with the calt feature… I could do it manually, but then I’m still copying my A.ss01 into a new a.ss01 glyph…

I’m using the code as described here:

sub @DEFAULT @DEFAULT' by @ALT1;
sub @ALT1 @DEFAULT' by @ALT2;

You adapt the classes accordingly, i.e., add the lowercase glyph names to the class definitions in Font Info > Features.

Thanks for the quick repky. That I understand. To specify, there is no a.ss01 yet. I want it to be the same as A.ss01. Is that possible without manually creating it? So like the example above where A = a, i want A.ss01 = a.ss01?

[GeorgSeifert]

You don’t need an extra glyph for a.ss01. Just use feature code like this:

sub a by A.ss01;

Thanks, makes sense

Hi, I am designing a font with 3 different styles (light, regular and bold) with lowercase and Uppercase and a forth style which consists only in Capitals. When I delete the lowercase on the capital style it affects the 3 other styles.
Do you know how can I copy and paste the Uppercase into the lowercase on my capitals style without changing the other 3 styles?
Thanks!
