Back to making fonts after a long hiatus. Upgraded (nice new polished interface) and a, now tweaking settings.
I swear there used to be an option to show a glyph in the editing window before and after the one you are editing?
So I could select the ‘e’ for before and the ‘r’ for after in some setting somewhere and this preview would show up the same for all glyphs I’m editing.
So there would be an e b r visible here, but only the b would be editable.
Welcome back!
The old “show previous/next glyph” option has been replaced by something more flexible.
Open a glyph, then press T to switch to the Text Tool inside the Glyph panel. Just type the context you want. Example: type abc and place the cursor just before the glyph you want to edit and press Esc to leave text mode.
Double-click any glyph in the panel to make it the active one.
Some tips and tricks while in Text Tool mode:
That gives you the same before/after preview, but with more freedom than the old setting.
