Color font best practices
Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2018 6:55 pm
I have a color font being made and have an issue I cannot resolve via the help system.
There are 240 main glyphs thus far. Two more sets of the colored parts for a total of 720 glyphs.
My question is, how does one effectively produce another color variation so I can use stylistic sets for the user to change out to another color set?
I know I can duplicate the parts. But it is slow going now just changing to see only one tagged set, coming back after editing, etc. I cannot imagine having two more complete sets of "parts" to color differently for two SS. And I know I could do separate fonts for the additional colored glyphs. Which then results in two more fonts, and I would prefer to use the SS feature.
Is there a better means of accomplishing this other than go buy a bigger, faster computer?
Thanks, Mike
