I’m designing a very rounded, extended display typeface. It will not be variable. I’m using Round Corners with Visual Corrections and skewing to build my shapes. More on this below.
So far, I’ve only built a few glyphs. When I run ‘Select Glyphs With Outline Errors’, it only flags those glyphs with curves. My one straight glyph (i), is not flagged.
I wasn’t sure what the actual error was, so I installed the Red Arrow plug-in. Most of the errors are missing extremums. There are a few smooth connection issues.
User error. I assumed the ‘Select Glyphs With Outline Errors’ was coming directly from Glyphs. I was getting plug-in happy. Thanks for clarifying the extremum thing.
re. the round shapes … does it matter if I apply Round Corners before or after applying skew/slant?
A sharp angle gets a smaller rounding radius, and a blunt angle gets a slightly bigger radius, so they appear the same visually. There’s a precise explanation in the handbook.
