For instance, EditView Line Height in Font Info > Font lets you set the line distance for multiline editing in an Edit tab.Īll the custom parameters are documented inside the dialog that adds them. Some parameters only influence the appearance of the font in an Edit tab. E.g., glyphOrder influences the ordering of glyphs in the exported font file. Most of them give you the option to set (or help calculate) a value in the final OpenType font, and are applied at export.
PurposeĬustom parameters serve various purposes. Instance parameters override master and font parameters. Parameters in the Exports tab directly apply only to the respective font instance that is being exported. Like font parameters, a master parameter will be overridden by an instance parameter with the same name. Many vertical metric values can be controlled here. Otherwise, Glyphs will not be able to interpolate. If you use parameters here, make sure they are compatible between the masters. Parameters in Font Info > Font count for the whole font, but are overridden by parameters with the same name in the Exports tab.Īlmost all parameters in Font Info > Masters are number values, because they get interpolated in a Multiple Master setup.
Usually, the order does not matter, but it does for Filter parameters (see below). You can drag to rearrange the parameters. You can also copy and paste them between Glyphs files. Shift- and Cmd-click to select many parameters at once. Select a parameter by clicking on its name.
