everses the positive transformation. This way, you can always undo a positive scale with the minus button and vice versa. The align buttons only work on complete paths, no matter whether they are partially or fully selected. If you want to align individual points or segments, you need to use the Align Selection command from the Layers menu. See section 2.2, ‘Editing Paths’ (p. 9), for more details.

Tip: You can apply the Make Stroke option to an open path to get a thickened outline. This way, you can get an initial outline just by drawing the internal stroke. 4 Filters 4.1 FILTERS MENU You can apply filters to the active layer in the Edit view, or to any number of selected layers (with the text tool), or in the Font view. Filters only aect visible layers, never all layers in a glyph. The following filters come standard with Glyphs. 4.2 HATCH OUTLINE Creates hatched letters. Distance, width, and angle of the hatch-lines can be chosen. Glyphs always uses the background path as source. If there is no path, Glyphs will put a copy of the current path into the background. Alter the appearance of the hatching by changing the background path and applying the filter once again. 4.3 OFFSET CURVE Changes the thickness of stems horizontally and / or vertically. The lock sign uses the horizontal value for both horizontal and vertical expansion. Without the Make Stroke option, paths will just be moved into a parallel position: With the Make Stroke option, selected paths will be expanded to closed outlines: The Position setting controls the distribution of the expansion. At 0%, the path will only expand to the right. At 100%, the path will only expand to the left. At 50%, the expansion will be evenly distributed to both sides of the path. Right and left sides are determined by the path orientation. Glyphs Handbook, May 2013 39
