Tip: As of version 1.3.19, you<br />
do not need to remove the<br />
commas anymore from<br />
the Add <strong>Glyphs</strong> string.<br />
correct that manually by right clicking the node and choosing<br />
Make Node First from the context menu, or use the command<br />
Layer > Correct Path Direction (Cmd-Shift-R) on all masters.<br />
In the third image, the start points are at the same position<br />
in both masters and all outlines are green.<br />
9.5 LAYERS PANEL<br />
The Layers Panel in the Palette (Window > Palette, Cmd-Opt-<br />
Shift-P) shows all layers of the selected glyph. The master<br />
layers are shown on top. You can copy them to save a<br />
working state: select the layer in the list and click the Copy<br />
button. When clicking an entry in the list, the selected layer<br />
is activated in the current glyph only. This is helpful to<br />
simultaneously see dierent layers of one glyph.<br />
To change view between master layers, use the tool bar<br />
buttons. Also there is the shortcut Cmd-1, Cmd-2, etc., i.e., Cmd<br />
and the number of the respective master.<br />
9.6 ENSURING FAMILY CONSISTENCY ACROSS FILES<br />
If you extend your font family beyond the scope of a single<br />
<strong>Glyphs</strong> file, e.g., with italic styles, then make sure both files<br />
carry precisely the same Font Family Name in the Font tab of<br />
File > Font Info. Keep in mind that Font Family Names can be<br />
altered for an instance with a custom parameter. Except for<br />
a Bold Italic, italic styles always need to be style-linked with<br />
their non-italic counterpart in the Instances tab. The Bold Italic<br />
needs to be style-linked to the Regular. See section 6.3.3, ‘Style<br />
Linking’ (p. 58), for more details.<br />
To compare the glyph scope and glyph metrics of two or<br />
more open <strong>Glyphs</strong> files, choose Edit > Compare Fonts… <strong>Glyphs</strong><br />
will then display a spreadsheet containing glyph counts,<br />
an indication which glyphs are missing in which file, and a<br />
per-glyph comparison of LSB, RSB, and width values for each<br />
Master layer. If you want to add the missing glyphs to one of<br />
the fonts, you can copy the names of the missing glyphs from<br />
the spreadsheet, then trigger Font > Add <strong>Glyphs</strong>… and paste the<br />
names into the appearing dialog sheet.<br />
