Re: Expressions
Expressions do make things slower, especially with complex variable fonts with lots of glyphs.
Some more things that slow things down are:
Huge pair positioning lookups, but there is not much we can do about that
The algorithm to detect compatibility issues among glyph layers in a variable font
Let us know if you think your work is affected by this.

Re: Expressions
An upcoming update will allow you to set metrics for all layers, using the same Edit across layers toolbar icon from the Masters and Layers panel.
While implementing this I sometime accidentally changes metrics for all layers, while I intended to only make a change to a single layer. So I wonder is there some way to make this more intuitive?

Re: Expressions
Layers are mostly for color fonts, right? I don't use them really.

Re: Expressions
There is some much terminology and the specs get more complex with every update, but I am talking about masters.
The upcoming update allows you to set the left side-bearing for all masters of a glyph at once. Usually such metric is not equal for all masters, so this enhancement might do more harm, so some advise is welcome!
Re: Expressions
If its still possible to set different side-bearings to each master (as well as setting the same side bearing to all masters), I don't see any harm.Erwin Denissen wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 8:59 amThere is some much terminology and the specs get more complex with every update, but I am talking about masters.
