Glyph Designer

Short, vertically-centered characters glued to baseline

mattparkins — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 09:51:01 GMT

To my shame I did work out what this was in the end. I had totally forgotten that the fonts in question were replacement ones - i.e., images that substituted the font. Feel free to delete this thread!

Copy, paste, edit included glyphs?

I'm having huge problems with this feature too. The old GD1 was so easy to use since you could easily modify and edit.

New GD2 is VERY difficult to remove unwanted characters, and bulk adding does not work as intended. When pasting a string, it lumps things together instead of separating each character as a character. PLEASE give us a simple text input like the old GD1. I literally can not work with GD2, it's very very frustrating.

@Mike
Were you able to update GlyphDesigner to support fonts not installed on the users computer?

Glyph Designer CLI help -in not working

derek.l — Tue, 18 Jul 2017 17:12:47 GMT

Im trying to get glyph designer working in the cli but the "-in" command does not seem to be behaving as I think it should.

Im entering in this command

GDCL ./assets/img/fonts/intro.GlyphProject ./assets/img/fonts/intro -fs 40 -fo XML-fnt -v -su -in 'abcdefg'

From the documentation it looks like it should give me a exported font with the listed characters but it only exports what was already inside of the GLyphProject.

Am I using this wrong?

derek.l — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 19:02:57 GMT

Feature request: Set upper/lower case sizes independently

mattparkins — Wed, 11 May 2016 13:22:08 GMT

To be able to set the size of the upper/lower case characters independently - this would be helpful for fonts that are all-caps in lower-case.
