Okay I have fully upgraded to Glyphs 3 and now we explore all the things I didn’t know. And there’s a lot. #typeDesign #glyphsApp

Okay, I think I’m getting the hang of combining marks correctly, though there's still lots to learn. #GlyphsApp #TypeDesign

…am considering upgrading to Glyphs 3 from mini.
Browsed this entry and now my mind is blown away:
#GlyphsApp
https://glyphsapp.com/news/glyphs-3-make-things-you-love

…and the lower case of the letters so far.
…componentizing this properly requires lots of bits. Still not getting automatic alignment right without anchors. #GlyphsMiniApp #GlyphsApp #typeDesign #blackletter

Here are my components so far, digging a really deep hole for myself, as I’ve got no bog boots: #typeDesign #GlyphsApp #GlyphsMiniApp

Uh oh, this was too much for the auto-cursivy on Glyphs App. I should go to sleep.

Watching someone create these #typeface components in video would go a long way, because this appears so powerful that not knowing how to use this feature makes type design much slower. https://glyphsapp.com/learn/reusing-shapes-component-tricks #glyphsApp #typeDesign

Any #glyphsapp users around? Ran into a weird issue (bug?) when trying to export a monoline variable font with glyphs who were entirely paths with strokes. When adding heavier weights with increased stroke width, Glyphs adds additional points to resolve the curves; when exporting, I get TrueType curve errors since the masters suddenly don't match. Is this a known issue?

The gratifying speed but struggle of pixel fonts, by @danielnisbet on YT: https://youtu.be/DugWDv2DpkY #typeDesign #GlyphsApp #pixelFont #typography

Time to reference some more #glyphsApp help pages to see what I’ve missed or what to task next.
Also legacy (and non) combinations and #ligatures, too! 🙌 #typeDesign

Okay, about eight hours experimenting with #glyphsApp and I love it. I have a bitmap style display face with quite a few extra characters and I have much more respect for #typeDesigners now. V1.0005 #typeDesign

Okay, this is too much fun. This feeds my brain. I've lost track of time. #typedesign @glyphsapp #glyphsapp

I'm working on a Rounded Sans #font with a "Dancing letters" opentype function.
Did anyone ever try to design a font with that kind of feature ?
#WIP #glyphsapp

updated my script for @glyphsapp that replaces diacritics with their uppercase versions. now, it generates the .case glyphs with components of the lowercase versions if they dont already exist. it also handles undo better. https://github.com/jpt/font-scripts/blob/master/Glyphs/Replace%20UC%20diacritics%20with%20case.py #glyphsapp #scripting
