Glyphs template

This is a template to create Japanese fonts for OpenType CFF (.otf) using Glyphs.

To recognize OpenType CFF as a Japanese font, all of the following conditions must be met:

It's cid-keyed
ROS is either "Adobe-Identity-0" or "Adobe-Japan1-x"
CodePageRange has JIS/Japan

The template is a Glyphs file that has been prepared to meet these conditions.

Template_Adobe-Identity-0

Adobe-Identity-0 template
The only three glyphs prepared are ".notdef", "space", and "X".
- In glyphOrder, ".notdef" and "space" are arranged from the beginning. When editing glyphOrder, make sure these two are the first ones
- "X" is installed in Illustrator vertically to prevent it from slipping.
- For Glyphs3, we have installed "for-vmtx" glyphs to automatically generate vmtx

Templates_AJ1-3(StdN)

Adobe-Japan1-3 (StdN) template
- Glyphs may change the glyph names for AJ1 during updates. Use a template that matches your version of Glyphs
Covers glyphs (for Glyphs 2, no Reiwa glyphs)
- The glyph width is divided into three categories: 1000/600/500
- 1000 is a full-width glyph. 600 is a European glyph. 500 is a half-width glyph
"〓" has been placed in the component (excluding white space characters)
The .rotat glyph has a component-located base glyph
- When you edit the base glyph, it will automatically be reflected in the .rotat glyph. However, only vertWidth (vertical glyph width when assembled vertically) is not reflected. Please set it using "Set vertWidth for vrt2 Glyph" in Glyphs-Scripts

Notes on Templates_AJ1-3

Prohibited: Do not delete or add glyphs
Prohibited: Do not change glyph names
Prohibited: Do not set OpenType features
- For Glyphs 2, Glyphs automatically installs fonts when you publish them, so leave it to me.
- For Glyphs 3, I import the GSUB feature from an external file, so leave it to that.
Prohibited: Do not edit the glyphOrder
Prohibited: Do not update glyph information
For Glyphs 2, there is an issue where the ROS of the exported font is incorrect. As explained in "Glyphs AJ1 Issues and Solutions - 2. ROS Edition," there is no easy solution for now, so I think it's fine to just leave it as is...
For Glyphs 3, I set it to Aj1-7. Don't change it because it's correct

Sample_AJ1-3(StdN)

Sample of actually putting the font path to Templates_AJ1-3 (StdN)
The shaped path is IPAex Mincho. The glyphs that were not available in IPAex tomorrow morning remain
The requirements are the same as Templates_AJ1-3 (StdN).

Output in TrueType

The Glyphs file published here is for CFF, but it can also be output using OpenType TrueType.

Notes

TrueType does not have a name-keyed/cid-keyed distinction
Since ROS is cid-keyed-specific, there is no ROS in TrueType. In other words, "TrueType Adobe-Japan1" does not exist
To recognize it as a Japanese font, you can just have JIS/Japan in CodePageRange.
AJ1-3 files for Glyphs2 cannot avoid errors, so TrueType output is not possible

method

This is a way to avoid an error when outputting with an auto hint. I'm not sure what the hints will be as a result of this...

Added "TTFAutohint options" to the custom parameters for "OutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOutOut

Since Glyphs3 may not automatically generate vmtx, I added a glyph "for-vmtx" with a non-length width of 1000 to the AI0 Glyphs3 template to automatically generate it.

2023.1.3

Brushing up "CustomFilter AJ1.plist"

2023.1.2

Changed unicodeRanges in AI0 template to codePageRanges
Added codePageRanges to the AJ1 template for Glyphs3 (as JIS/Japan is not automatically set up in G3)
Added AJ1 sample for Glyphs3
Keep file names as simple as possible

2022.11.28

Changed folder name to match Glyphs version

2022.5.26

GSUB file name for Glyphs3 template has been changed

2022.5.24

Added AJ1-3 template for Glyphs3.0.4

2021.12.22

The folder name clearly states the range of available Glyphs versions.
