Glyph Properties: Extra Info
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2018 3:36 pm
I've noticed that a bunch of my glyphs have this setting, saying "Ligature 3" below the box for "Automatic". I've seen "Ligature 2" too.
I assume this number says how many glyphs in a ligature put out this glyph. Is this correct?
If so, I just wondered that some glyphs don't have the setting "Automatic" but are set to "Simple" although they are being used in ligatures too. I haven't touched these settings, so everything is as the program does it.
Can this be a problem? Should I set them all to "Automatic"?
The other thing that happens again and again is that glyphs get an offset right out of the blue. A glyph might be okay, and next time I open the program there's an offset of -1. It can happen with any glyph.
What exactly does an offset do? I'm a bit tired of fixing this over and over again.
Thanks in advance!
