Preloaded, User-Created, and Drag-and-Drop Glyph Mappings using Formulas
Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2021 2:39 am
Hi everyone
Looking to minimize filesize on some old fonts and doing a lot of glyph mapping using Formulas.
For example, making all uppercase A variations (Aring, Agrave, Aacute, etc) map to A 0065. All uppercase E variations map to E. Currently shift+ and ctrl+ clicking glyphs and then hitting the Formula button, setting them equal one glyph at a time.
Why not have user created maps that I can activate with one button? Here are some great ones:
- all uppercase letters to the basic 26 uppercase
- all lowercase letters to the basic 26 lowercase
- basic 26 lowercase letters get mapped to the uppercase version
Why not set the formula for a selection of glyphs by dragging and dropping them onto the glyph that they are to be set equal to?
I tried to set up an FCP file as a template, but it means editing the Font Info and Metrics every time I use it.
Hope this is something workable.
Have a good one,
