Outline to find wrong path directions

1

Hi there
I found that outlining the glyphs in indesign show where there is a path direction problem in overlapping glyphs. So instead of exporting to indesign each time, I was wondering if there is an easier or more direct way to find those in Glyphs?

Thanks,
Andreas

Multiple possibilities: use the Path Problem Finder script, or use Fontbakery on your exported fonts. You can automatically correct the path direction with Path > Correct Path Direction. Do check the interpolations, though, as it doesn’t always produce the correct result.

Thanks!
Yeah checking the interpolation is really important. Has @mekkablue OTVPlayer Script also stopped working for you?

I use Font Gauntlet for that. However, Fontbakery has become extremely good at spotting interpolation errors, I always check that first.
