Hi! I have a problem with my metric keys. For my base glyphs (the ones to which I refer from other glyphs) I use e.g. “=10”, to make sure the app warns me if I move a glyph by accident or I change something in its components which affects the sidebearings.
Recently I noticed the app started to ignore such equations in some instances – if I shift the glyph, the sidebearings shows “=10 (-10)” but doesn’t highlight it as incorrect nor updates it if I choose to update the metrics.
I attached a .glyphs file where this happens. I tested it on two different machines and two different Glyphs versions and the problem persists. I believe there’s something wrong with the file?
I would really appreciate any help and I hope I’m not missing something here. Thanks!
Hello Georg,
I’m on the latest cutting edge version, but still having problems with this. The right metric key is set to -10, the actual value is 0, but Glyphs doesn’t update it nor highlights it in red.
@composerjk Yes, I think so, Because this happens every time I use the “Resolve all metrics” plugin. Before I see this message I just make glyphs and add some spacing as usual.
Take a look at the Window > Macro Panel (Option-Command-M). The log output from the plugin is likely in the bottom half of the Macro Panel. That might give some hints on where the issue may be located.
