Tip: It is advisable to keep<br />
uprights and italics in<br />
dierent files since their basic<br />
shapes are too dierent to<br />
linearly interpolate between<br />
them. See section 9.6,<br />
‘Ensuring Family Consistency<br />
across Files’ (p. 76).<br />
9 Multiple Master<br />
9.1 OVERVIEW<br />
With Multiple Masters you only draw the extreme styles of a<br />
font family and then interpolate the styles in between. <strong>Glyphs</strong><br />
supports the following arrangements:<br />
Light<br />
Bold<br />
Light Semibold Black<br />
Light Condensed Bold Condensed<br />
Light Black<br />
Condensed<br />
Light Bold<br />
Light Condensed Bold Condensed<br />
Light Semibold Black<br />
The relation between the masters is defined by their<br />
coordinates, i.e., their width and weight properties. In<br />
addition, you can define other dimensions. The masters span a<br />
design space in which the instances can be placed.<br />
The nodes of the outlines are not automatically linked<br />
between the masters. You can insert nodes in one master<br />
while all other masers stay untouched. Note that for the final<br />
interpolation, the masters need to be compatible, though.<br />
