Glyphs-Symbol

Importing Drawings from Illustrator

Preparation

  1. Find the right scale for the drawing in Illustrator. One point unit in Illustrator correspond with units in Glyphs. So something that is 1000 pt high will end up 1000 units height in Glyphs.

  2. One way to get the right scale is to first draw a rectangle with the height of the Cap height in Glyphs, copy paste it to Illustrator and scale the drawings that they have the right size compared to the box.

Set the Page Origin

Copy the Paths

  1. Copy paste the outlines.

  2. There might be a dialog:

    UnsusualBoundsDialog

    This should prevent that you copy something far outside the bounds.

    It will move the path next to the origin of the glyph.
