Using transformation filters on specific glyphs

Glyphs
1

Hi! I’ve got a noob question :sweat_smile: I want to use a transformation filter to reduce spacing by -10 for Latin letters and -20 for numeral figures. How can I apply both adjustments at the same time using custom parameters?

Use an exclude tag like this:

Transformations:LSB:-5;RSB:-5;exclude:*numr

and then add a second Filter parameter with the inverse:

Transformations:LSB:-10;RSB:-10;include:*numr

Are you doing this only on export? You don’t want to do this on the working file?

Thanks for the quick response! :folded_hands: Actually, is there any way to change it directly on the working file? My client needs to tweak it, and the deadline’s super tight :grimacing:

Of course. Just select all the glyphs you want to change the spacing on and use Glyph > Transform Metrics.

You can select all glyphs and deselect the numerals (what do you mean by numerals, actually?). Then only select your numerals and run the same thing again.

Use the “relative” option and reduce the LSB/RSB by half of what you want to reduce the glyph width (spacing) by. So -5 on LSB and RSB if you want to reduce spacing by 10.
