Multiple dimensions for multiple scripts

Glyphs
1

Is it possible to have different dimensions for different scripts? I think I’ve seen non-Latin dimensions in screenshots but there’s nothing about them in the handbook.

If not, I’ll put in a feature request: have different dimensions for each script in the Languages section of the font tab. Then automatically switch between them in edit tabs based on the unicode block of the active glyph.

With dimension you mean ascender and descender values? I’m working on it.
For now, you can define a ‘shoulderHeight’ parameter for Devanagari, Arabic, Thai and Tibetan similar to the ‘smallCapHeight’

No, the Dimensions section of the palette.

This is of cause possibel and already implemented for Arabic.

If you give me a setch on what shapes and input fields you need.

I’ll mock something up and email it to you. Thanks!
