Features just aren't there or are extremely awkward to use. But no, it's way too limited compared to FontLabs old TypeTool. They name it glyphs like it would be useful for making actual glyphs like one might want for a phone app.
This is so limited and cumbersome and non-intuitive for copying fonts, visually changing bounding box, assigning and viewing UNICODE font numbers and figuring out the font indicies for glyphs. Pretty useless for trying to work with UNICODE and indices Oh, how I wish for a vector graphics auto-trace tool, or a plugin for Illustrator and for Affinity Designer that would make tracing scanned images easier, and another that might make creating fonts from vector graphics artwork easier, rather than copy and paste individual characters.
#Affinity create a glyph how to
I am liking a lot about Glyphs Mini as I discover how to do things. It's highly possible I'm missing how to do things that the program.already does. glyphs format, but it would be so useful to be abel to go back and forth, round trip, when getting used to Glyphs. I have old files I'd love to import into Glyphs. fog and FontLab users might want to switch to Glyphs / Glyphs Mini, as I am exploring to do now. This would be so useful, particularly since Fontographer no longer works with the newest macOS system, and. fog (Fontographer format or the newer FontLab 6 or 7 formats. * Glyphs Mini does not appear to import / export old.
#Affinity create a glyph plus
I'm doing very basic construction plus trying copy and paste from Affinity Designer or other vector drawing apps. What am I missing? I am sure there's a way to do this. But so far, I have not figured out the mouse/keyboard combo to do this from exisitng points. * I'm used to dragging out handles for the bézier control points with option-drag in old Fontographer and Freehand and some other vector graphics programs. I really would prefer a Dark Mode for editing characters / glyphs. The font / character map window obeys Dark Mode and regular Light Mode. * I can't find where to change the background and foreground colors for the glyph editing window. I like several things about Glyphs Mini, but I am still getting used to it.
