Simplepolator v1.0

Update posted May 24, 2012 at 4:32 pm by PabloImpallari for the Simplepolator project.

Simplepolator allows you to interpolate compatible glyphs in the same font, without leaving FontLab nor interrupting your workflow.

Simply select two compatible glyphs and run the macro:
Five new glyphs will be automatically created, allowing you to choose the best variation.

A quick video showing how to use it: https://vimeo.com/42785809

"In Glyphs, if you have drawn two versions of the same glyphs put one in the background and use the Filters > Transformation > Background to interpolate between the for and background layer. They have to be compatible, of cause."
Georg Seifert
