Hi!
So I have been working on color fonts, two layers only right now. I want to link the glyphs metrics with keys, to link spacing side bearings between glyphs, the linkage between Masters is already working with the custom parameter named in the tutorial.
But for some reason I cannot link the glyphs metrics with keys. Is this even possible? I figured… it should be… When I enter the key in the first master, the other one does not update, and the other way around, of course it does not work…
Maybe I should add a parameter… or is there something I am overlooking?
Thanks in advance!
:m
Can you give an example what you are trying to do?
Well, Basically I want the same logic I use for spacing my other fonts in my color/layer font, every glyph that looks like H should have the same LSB as H, in the case of D, H LSB and O RSB…, the F same LSB as H, and so on…
Also most of the Glyphs have negative spacing in one layer, and positive in the other, and it should stay consistent because my shapes are modular grids… let’s say similar to pixel logic, but a liiitttle bit different…
Right now I cannot seem to do this… whenever I tell the F, LSB =H, it affects the other layer behaviour, the metrics do not update and it it always shows the metrics in the red arrow mode, I read all the threads in the forum and re-read some of the manual, but maybe I am looking wrong? and there is already a fix I am not finding.
Right now I am not testing or exporting the files yet, this is just and issue I ran into while building the letters in glyphs…
Can you send me a sample file?
