Comment on Show HN: I made a grid based font editor and font

Comments

Really cool stuff... I'm already halfway through my very own font

Would be nice to be able to edit a glyph while comparing to the current version so you can tweak it without destroying it... and then ultimately click to replace the existing glyph with the new one

Highlighting the x-height and other helper lines on the editor would also help avoiding a ton of iteration

Sounds so good! That is a feature that I want to implement, when I was making the font I wanted the same feature (but decided to finish the font first!) so what I end up doing was using a different character to create a variation of a char and then replacing the coordinates in the JSON file later.
