This doesn't work for me on a multi-glyph basis. It just overwrites the original glyph. Paste special doesn't have any functions that would allow me to do this either.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote:You could also do this with Glyph Transform Wizard. In the glyph edit window, copy your glyph as before, then Tools, Glyph Transformer: Outlines, Move 200,100 and Metrics Width increase 200 (right side). Then paste the copy of the glyph back into the original place.
Have you been able to develop any Glyph Transformer scripts that allow for both copies to exist in the glyph? Similar to the Hollow effect.
I'm actually seeking a shadow script:
- copy glyph
- move glyph (50, -50)
- increase right bearing by 50
- paste original glyph back into original location
- Perform a Get Union that excludes the original glyph, leaving only the shadow
Here are some images that hint at what can be done through this system:
