Thanks! I’ll take a look soon |

Looks like most APL symbols are missing bold version? You also are not using components, which will be much easier to support in the future, if any of those will require alterations. Could you make that change? Or I can do it myself later |
|
Thank you for letting me know. I'll try to fix those things. |

As requested, I have changed glyphs to use components. However there is still no bold font since I am using Glyphs Mini, which purportedly doesn't support multiple masters. I am currently unable to upgrade to a paid version as well. If there's anything I can do that does not involve money, I may be able to do it. Sorry about that. But I hope the light version will be good enough to extrapolate the boldface. As a side note, it seems that Glyphs Mini also doesn't support masking components, so I was unable to add some. APLQuadUpArrow is an example where the sides of the arrow were clipped and the tail made longer, but since I cannot do that to a component I was unable to replace the arrow portion. Similar situation with some of the four vanes. Again, please don't hesitate to comment or say something if there's something else I missed! Thank you for the fast reply last time. :) |

OH and I almost forgot - one last change: I moved the glyph WhiteCircle up to match the height of other symbols using the LargeCircle component like circle stile and circle backslash. No symbols use the whiteCircle glyph as a component though. |
|
Thank you! Yeah, I know, contributing is a pain because Glyphs costs a lot, so I don’t expect anyone to buy it. I’ll take it from there, adding bold versions should be easier with components. Thanks! |

Tonsky, would it be possible to change some of the base glyphs to fit better with the APL glyphs? namely the mathematical "member of" (∊) glyph and the (∘) glyph? I just received feedback on the glyphs I made, so I may want to make a few minor changes to the additional glyphs as well. |
|
You mean in your PR? Yes, I have not touched it yet |
|
Tonsky, it might be a lot to ask, but would you be able to wrangle with ttf files? I am currently unable to edit the glyphs file, and am a bit stuck for options to contribute. My only idea right now is to create a ttf file or something along those lines that contains polished contributions. |
|
I can copy glyphs from TTF |
|
I've pushed an OTF file containing the extra glyphs, although, if I was able to get glyphs or edit glyph files in any way, there are quite a few character components I would use. If only.... |

Sorry if it's a lot, but it really would be amazing to have APL symbols in Fira Code.
