I have been hammering away on some font families and am just taking a break to publicly tell Erwin many, many thanks for version 11. The new features have made most of what I do easier & quicker. There’s only one thing that would make it even better, but there is a work-around.
There have been many small improvements which may not seem like much when examined individually but when taken as a whole make a significant improvement to the overall workflow. And of course there have been some major improvements as well, but it’s the small improvements that you notice on a day to day basis.
donʼt recall if I already thanked you for the inclusion of the “Replace Glyph” command in the pop‑up menu. If I did, hereʼs a double thankyou. Very practical, saved me tons of work.
Re-enabling the ability to preview init, medi and fina features in the OT Designer.
Work arounds included temp exporting of a font in progress, which really didn’t help while actually still designing the feature(s). Else WOFF export. But in the end, I would just export the font, do the OT Feature work for these features in version 9, then copy/paste the code into v.11. The pita was if I was still needing to do future OT feature work in the fonts with these features. It was prone to error if I was tired.
This is now/going to be a moot point as it is being restored. Which makes me a really happy person.
