Choose a simple naming schem that shadows the names of standard glyphs. It needs a name before it can be programmed. Say I’ve drawn a stylistic alternate capital R in one of the unassigned cells. To create a new blank glyph cell, go to Glyphs > Generate Glyphs, and then type in what you want the name of the glyph to be, and hit OK. Glyphs for SALT, DLIG and all alternate characters are added to unassigned (or blank) glyphs cells. SALT - Stylistic Alternates: Handles alternate versions of standard glyphs, ie: a - z, A - Z, numerals 0 - 9, punctuation and currency symbols. DLIG is especially useful for script faces when you want to make lots of custom combinations. You can add in all sorts of sequences of glyphs like “swell”, “ill” and “spatula”. All serious text fonts and most good quality display fonts include these ligatures as standard.ĭLIG - Discretionary Ligatures: Like LIGA but for non-standard ligatures and word ligatures. LIGA - Standard Ligatures: For “fi”, “fl”, “ae”, “oe” “AE and "OE” ligatures (auto generated by Fontlab).
