Is it possible to get Glyphs to not add its own version number, while generating the version string from the “Version” field in the font info?
I know about the “versionString” custom parameter but having to update data in two places manually is a source of errors. Redundancy is a no-go for me.
You can use placeholders as described in the custom parameter description:
Excellent, thanks! I had only looked at the “Version” section of the handbook.
Yes, might be worth mentioning/linking to the custom parameter docs as well.
You’ll see the same description when adding a custom parameter, but currently we don’t have a good way to show it again in-app once it has been added. That will improve.
