Importing Fonts

To start, open Glyphs Mini on your Mac and navigate to the 'File' menu. From there, select 'Open Font' and choose the font file you want to import from your computer. You can also use Glyphs' default fonts if you don't have one already.

Editing Fonts

Once you've imported your font, you'll be able to edit it using Glyphs Mini's powerful vector editing toolkit. This includes a coordinate panel, curvature control, filters, and many other tools to help you create and edit shapes.

Adding Fonts to Font Book

To add your new font to Font Book, simply select the 'plus' icon on the top of the main window in Glyphs Mini. From there, navigate to the location where you saved your font file and select it.

Troubleshooting Issues
