2.10.7 Previewing in Adobe applications For a complete preview including things like positioning features and menu ordering, just pick File > Export (Cmd-E) and choose /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts/ as Export Destination. The font becomes immediately available in all Adobe applications. Any previously saved instance of the font in this folder will be overwritten. The font will not be available outside Adobe apps, but this is a convenient way to circumvent any font cache problems in OS X. If the Fonts folder does not exist, you can create it right in the Open Folder dialog by pressing Cmd-Shift-N. In this case, you have to restart any running Adobe apps for the change to take eect. 2.11 EXCHANGING OUTLINES WITH ILLUSTRATOR 2.11.1 Preparation First, find the right scale for your drawings in Adobe Illustrator. One point in Illustrator corresponds to one unit in Glyphs, i.e., an element that is 100 pt high will end up at a height of 100 units in Glyphs. To quickly get the right scale, draw a rectangle with the height of the capital letters in Glyphs, copy and paste it into an Illustrator artboard and scale the drawings to fit the height of the rectangle. Alternatively, you can start in Illustrator and set the artboard to a height of your UPM size in points, e.g., 1000 pt if your UPM is 1000. Both ascender and descender should fit inside the artboard. 2.11.2 Set the Page Origin If you set the page origin to the intersection of base line and LSB, the paths will have the right position. In Illustrator up to Version CS4, set the origin of the page by dragging the cross hair in the top left corner between the rulers. In Illustrator CS5 or later, set the origin of the page in the Artboard Options. Glyphs Handbook, May 2013 32
2.11.3 Copy the Paths Copy and paste the outlines. A dialog may appear, preventing you from pasting something far outside the bounds of the letter. It will move the path next to the origin, i.e., the intersection of base line and left sidebearing. Glyphs Handbook, May 2013 33
