When I paste glyphs from one font to the next does that remove hinting?
I see there’s a capital H on the original font, but when I paste it into the new font the H is missing.
Yes. Hinting can be preserved if you cut and paste within the same font only. As soon as you modify a glyph, hinting is removed.
Oh, I’m pasting from one font to the next. Is there any way to preserve hinting?
Hmmm, I’ve never been successful at maintaining Hints when I even look at a glyph… Cutting and pasting hasn’t worked either – what’s the trick?
Cut and paste from the Overview.
