Glyphs is a project to build a font-editor with usability and design in mind. This not always means, that it is totally intuitive as it uses many keyboard shortcuts. The main focus lays on streamlining the workflow.
As long as it is in BETA stage, the download is free. Once it is finished, I will sell it.
Main Features
- Edit text in context of words
Only necessary interface elements
Good integration in the operating system and connection to the design workflow
Plugin interface for extending the functionality
Scripting support
I invite everyone to follow the development, download and test Glyphs reports bugs and make suggestions.
Screenshots
- You can filter the glyphs based on glyph groups
- The glyph name is edited in the glyph cell. The unicode is set automatically.
- The side bearings are calculated with a slanted bounding box. That means, that the left and right side-bearing is similar to the ones of the upright letters.
- You can view all masters side by side.
- You can apply OpenType features to the text. This saves much time working on smallcaps.
