I need to Make a jump scale in letters’s dot at weights above 200 (in a variable font)
This works if the bracket layer is created for each letter.
But resizing inside the dot component (with a bracket layer) is not passed to the letters (i j).
This is a known issue. I need to have a look.
I can explain with another example.
Suppose the dollar sign is used in that tutorial.
Use as a component in another glyph.
I can send the file if needed.
I am still involved with this problem.
Bracket Layer does not Work on Variable Fonts Components?
In this example, the comma-ar is used in semicolon-ar as a component.
Any update on fixing this issue? I am also stuck at this.
Or is there any workaround?
see gif below, left glyph is “a”, right glyph is “b”
glyph a is using bracket trick successfully,
when add a as a component into glyph b, the bracket trick doesn’t work for b.
the bracket trick should make the shape disappear at 99. The left glyph did, the right glyph didn’t disappear.
