Or, start with a base font, then select some glyphs from a second font to import into the base font.  I totally get it &#8211; but fundamentally Glyphr Studio is not able to handle opening two projects or fonts at the same time&#8230; the code makes all kinds of assumptions about there being only one project.  It&#8217;s something I&#8217;m going to fix in v2 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, for now, v1.13.06 introduced a small feature that may help with merging fonts &#8211; even though it&#8217;s not a nice workflow or tool that is custom built to merge fonts.  The feature is a new Glyph Action that allows you to download a SVG file for just that single Glyph (or Ligature or Component):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"763\" height=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image.png 763w, https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image-300x99.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 763px) 100vw, 763px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So now, if you have two Glyphr Studio Projects open in two different browser tabs, you can more easily copy shapes from one to another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, this is how I move a glyph from one project to another. First I open my destination project in a browser tab to the glyph I want to receive the new shapes.  Then I navigate to the glyph in the source project in another browser tab that I want to pull into the first project &#8211; and hit Export glyph SVG File.  My browser has a little notification that a .svg file was downloaded, and I can grab the actual browser notification, drag it to the destination tab with the project already open, and drop it on the edit canvas there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;so, like I said, not quite a fully-featured &#8220;Merge Fonts&#8221; workflow, but hopefully it unblocks you in trying to move designs between projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bug fixes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with this mini new feature, we fixed some bugs as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Changed exported OTF shapes to be clockwise by default<\/li><li>Fixed a bug where flat path points were hiding a handle when it was imported from a compound SVG shape<\/li><li>Changed the non-breaking space glyph name from &#8216;nobreakspace&#8217; to &#8216;nbsp&#8217;<\/li><li>Added soft hyphen U+00AD glyph to the list of exportable whitespace glyphs<\/li><li>Updated the default font metadata to use canonical family names (&#8220;Regular&#8221; instead of &#8220;normal&#8221;)<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most common feature requests I get is to be able to merge two fonts together.  v1.13.06 introduced a small feature that may help with merging fonts &#8211; even though it&#8217;s not a nice workflow or tool that is custom built to merge fonts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-release","category-version-1"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":277,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173\/revisions\/277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.glyphrstudio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
