Font Forum

Please just state that it's not possible. Making suggestions as to improve workflow is not constructive. The issue is that I may come back to the work at a much later stage and overlook updating ... as intuitively you would expect the software to take this into account. Sorry to be critical ... I th...

But I am constantly making changes.

I have some composite glyphs ... some of the capitals in the Greek alphabet. The shape is the same as the parent glyph, all good here. But the location is not the same. The Left and Right bearings specifically. Why does this occur? Note: I have made modifications to the parent glyph after pasting as...

Is there a menu item which shows or exports all the glyph data.
Specifically I am looking for Left and Right bearings, Glyph width.

OK thanks for explaining.

I need to keep the bold because I need the stem width to be the same.
Incidentally, what is the significance of the integers in the script. Is it a relative or a fixed change? Try to explain to me what the number 25 means in "Bold (25, 0)".

This is what it looks like after point 4.
It doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong.

NOTES
- In 2. I assume "Shift + right x ten" means "Shift + right" ten times.
- In 6. What's the purpose of pasting back the original contour? And undoing, this confuses me even further.

I'm trying to reduce the width of the font by using the scripts shown in the attached document.
The issue I'm having is that I'm trying to keep the same stem width.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Please note that I don't wish to change the shape by editing nodes.

OK thanks very much.

Thanks for responding.
What is represented by the two variables in Bold, in your case "Bold (50, 0)". I can't locate in the documentation what the two variables represent.

I want to make a glyph narrower but keep the thickness the same.
The vertical dimension is unchanged. Only the horizontal is reduced in scale.
Which is the most suitable script with the Glyph TRansformations?

Thx for confirmation.

What worked for me:
Format, Settings, General tab, Fixed Pitch set to 0.
Is this the right way? Are the only options 1 and 0?
... restarting Word did not work.
... moving glyph to the left: I did this, so I assume your comment is not relevant?

Thank-you.

I have changed the the width of 1 glyph in FontCreator. At the same time, it was moved left. When I enter the glyph in a word processor, it still has the same overall width as before, but it can be seen that it's moved to the left. Changed via right-click, Properties, change Advanced Width. Why is t...
