Smart component

[clauseggers]

I’m trying to figure out if this is possible: I want to create a smart glyph that I can use everywhere. It is a stem terminated with serifs. However I will need to control both sides independently, and in some cases to not exist. (That last one I think I can do using the boolean range of 0–1 in the Smart Glyph properties.)

I have both narrow and wide variations of each side in addition the ‘normal’ width that is used in the normal layer, and all their permutations.

I have created the layers like this (the boolean layers are not yet created)

I can only set extrema in the layer properties…

The values 50, 150 are ratios on the width of the normal I have designated 100. However, I can’t set the default layers to be 100 in the Smart Glyph truth-table…

What do I do?

That is currently not possible. I have a plan to make smart glyphs more flexible …

The alternative is that I split the glyph down the middle in two separate smart glyphs, but then I’ll have the issue of linking them together with anchors. Hmm.

[GeorgSeifert]

Or just use the corners and no smart glyph at all?

That is what all the glyphs are now. It works, but is a lot of use of intermediate layers in the corner components (serifs) for scaling to special contexts, and I wanted to clean it up.
