    As a fontlab user I doubt I'll ever use any of the glyphs knowledge but it's just awesome listening to topics about typography
    Thank you and keep it up!

      Thanks for the kind words! Glad I can share. If you like your tools and they do what you need, that’s perfect!

      @@ArrowType No, Glyphs just isn't supported for Windows haha. From what I can see Glyphs has better features, more support and a bigger community.
      But at the end of the day a poor craftsman blames his tools and Fontlab still works well and gets the job done :) You're more than welcome!

      @@Faylayx oh, haha, fair enough! Working on windows is definitely a big feature. Some of my favorite type designers work in FontLab! But yes, I do really appreciate a lot about the design and tech support around Glyphs.

    In this case, I'd just hit shift+cmd+R (correct path direction) and Glyphs would automatically place all the starting points at the bottom left :)

      Ah nice, I should have mentioned that, and I didn’t realize that was the approach it used! I have had some issues with that command not working quite as expected, so I have partly forgotten about it. But yes, it tends to work pretty well!
