Proof Printing directly from Glyphs?

1

Searching for a way to proof print all masters/preset sentences etc. through glyphs. Is there a way in Glyphs or is there an other way?

2

You can print whatever is in the Edit View.

Can you make a mockup how you like the output to look like?

3

Look into Drawbot, otherwise. You can run that directly from within Glyphs using the Drawbot plugin.

Or look into Peter Nowell’s Font Proofer. There is a link in the Resources.

Or construct HTML&CSS pages particular to the requirements of each typeface, and then generate the fonts into that folder and load it with @font-face. With OpenType features and variable fonts supported, I’ve found that is the easiest and fastest way to do proofing. Start with a simple document and expand it as needed, and remember that you can even make special CSS for print output.

A good starting point for HTML is the mekkablue script Test > Variable Font Test HTML.
