Okay thank you. I will hold off on adding slant versions until the feature is added.Erwin Denissen wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 7:35 am The next update will also move the anchors, but even then glyph outlines with components need attention.

Re: 'Round', and 'Round Corners'

Process for Adding Slant Master with Anchors
Hi there What is the correct process for adding a slant master, that also slants the anchors for you? Here is what I am doing, but the anchors are staying in their old unslanted locations: Create a new Axis called "Slant" using the slnt tag Select Regular slnt 0 master Create a new master ...

Re: 'Round', and 'Round Corners'
Concerning the round corners feature, do let us know your exact needs, so we better understand if we can provide such option in the future. Sure thing My preference is for setting the radius to a fixed value as a Glyph Transformer function, such as the first option at the bottom left of the menu he...

Re: 'Round', and 'Round Corners'
Thank you Erwin
I just finished going through your Variable Font tutorial and made my first interpolated weight. Very much looking forward to using version 15.
Very much looking forward to a corner rounding function, once implemented.
Thanks again,

'Round', and 'Round Corners'
Hello I am seeking the ability to Round Corners (filleting corners) in Font Creator 15 v2970 released April 4, 2024. I saw in the changelog for the latest release that "New Round transform feature" is at the top of the list. Does this change refer to the Glyph Transformer > Outlines - Roun...

Re: The function of reading a prepared list of pairs of characters to simplify kerning.
I have used the text from older fonts to accomplish this task, but two items confound the process: 1. You cannot save Class Manager classes to any preset or text file. Likewise, it doesn't seem to be written into the OTF font file. 2. If you are missing any glyphs, you get compiling errors when tryi...

I've made a horrible mistake. You should not make the same mistake as me.
Hello I made the decision to try using the Free Draw tool and a pen tablet to draw a new hand lettering font. I then took the results and used anchors and composites to fill out the rest of the glyphs. When I was ready to publish my font, I started noticing on closer inspection that the edges were i...

Re: Preloaded, User-Created, and Drag-and-Drop Glyph Mappings using Formulas
A better approach is to map the composite characters to the base glyph, e.g. set code-points of A to: $41, $C0, $C1, $C2, $C3, $C4, $C5 Note: this is not something we recommend, but in your case this might work. I can't set the code points of A. I can set the code points of $41 to A, then $C0 to A,...

[CLOSED] "Preserve Bearings" does not work on Formula composites
Hi everyone When using Glyph Transformer > Effects > Bold or Thin > Preserve Bearings, bearings are not preserved for composites created via formula. For single glyphs, such as d = D, you can chain bearings together using Glyph Member Properties > Use this glyph's metrics. However, for composites, s...

How to set multiple formula glyphs to "Use this glyph's metrics"

Re: Preloaded, User-Created, and Drag-and-Drop Glyph Mappings using Formulas
Why would anyone want to map all accented vowels to their base glyph? :? I would be happy to answer that question for you. And not just vowels, but all accented characters: Because for quite a few glyphs, Complete Composites won't map anything without diacritics Because not all clients pay for diac...

Preloaded, User-Created, and Drag-and-Drop Glyph Mappings using Formulas
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 ...

Please add "Round Corners" a la Illustrator to Glyph Transformer
This is such an amazing feature and it would be a great addition to FontCreator. The way it works is that you enter a radius, and it changes all hard corners into a round corner with that radius. Works great on monoline cursive scripts and slab serifs, condensed sans serifs. I've attached two exampl...

Thank you for providing me with your workflow. It's going to take a bit for me to process this as it's significantly different than what I've been doing, but I'll do my best. I appreciate your time on this matter. It's my understanding that the anchor positions are calculated by FontCreator based on...
