I am currently experiencing a new phenomenon with Glyphs 3.3 on OS 15.0.1. The function to replace an existing glyph with a (same) generated one is not working as I was used to anymore.
Let’s say my characterset contains an empty eacute. Instead of placing components by hand I would usually create the respective components first, place anchors and then generate eacute again selecting the replace existing glyph function. Like this I keep the same characterset in my file but the diacritical glyphs are generated.
What happens now (after the update) is that instead of replacing my eacute, a new glyph is created – called eacute.001
This normally happens when you duplicate a glyph, right? Am i missing something here?
thanks for your quick reply! And good workaround tip – or actually I did the workaround before
But still the replace / duplicate issue also occurs when using tables to generate component bunches like:
zero=zero.tf one=one.tf two=two.tf
etc…
This leads to a new set of number.tf.001 glyphs instead of placing the proportional figures inside the tabular ones (by replacing/generating them). Or maybe there is also a smarter way to work this out?
You can use “Paste Special > Insert as Component”. Select the “.tf” glyphs in font view, copy them, select the other numbers and do Command+Option+v and then choose “Insert as components”.
