This is a plugin for the Glyphs font editor.
It's a pencil tool that draws pixels using components, making pixel font design so much easier. While FontStruct offers a similar service, there is a lot of luxury that comes with a pixel tool in Glyphs such as in-text preview. Note that it does not offer the ability to generate actual pixel font formats.
- Install via the Plugin Manager in Glyphs.
- Restart Glyphs.
-
The tool is available on the tool bar, alternatively the key shortcut is X.
-
When you activate the Pixel Pen tool for the first time in your font, it will open a setting window where you can specify pixel size and metrics. Setup dialog is also available from the context menu.
-
Open a glyph, and draw like a regular pencil tool. The Pixel Pen has auto-erase function, and will delete existing components.
