[FIXED] Two Bugs Found

Post by Megami »

1. Insert Glyphs Not Working
Trying to add a glyph to the system, selected "insert after selected glyph". Nothing.
Tried it with both the icon and the Menu command. Nothing.
I can't even really tell if the glyph is selected, or if it's deselecting it.

2. Round X/Y Coordinates Not working
Literally tried to do it repeatedly, and yet nothing is happening. It just sits there.

Not sure what tab you used, but if it is By Name, then maybe you didn't provide a glyph name.

I think it currently works on selected points, but it might be better to perform the operation on all points if none are selected. Would that make sense?

If you have a character set selected, e.g. Basic Latin, and insert a glyph after Z, you will not see the new glyph that has been created because it is not in the Basic Latin Character set. Select the Glyphs category to see all glyphs in the font.
Did you use this tab to insert a new glyph?

What do you expect to happen when you round x/y coordinates?

Not by name, as it's in the Free use area ($EXXX) but this wasn't an issue in 14.

I did the whole thing on all points, but nothing was done. Perhaps things are different from the previous version, but I did the same thing that I would have done last week and there was no change.

The free area expects unique names.

What do you expect when you round the coordinates of the selected nodes?

In the past, when I rounded the coordinates, it would take the nodes to the nearest point. For example, 0.012xxxx would round to 0, 2820.21xxx would round to 2820. This time around, it doesn't seem to move or round at all. I've tried selecting individuals and groups and the same (lack of) action occurs.
