This is a plugin for the Glyphs font editor by Georg Seifert. It displays glyph-wide and layer-specific metrics keys a little bit below the baseline.
After installation, it will add the menu item View > Show Metrics Keys. You can set a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences.
- Download the complete ZIP file and unpack it, or clone the repository.
- Double click the .glyphsReporter file. Confirm the dialog that appears in Glyphs.
- Restart Glyphs
- Open a glyph in Edit View.
- Use View > Show Metrics Keys to toggle the display of the metrics keys.
The plugin needs Glyphs 2.0 or higher, running on OS X 10.9.5 or later.
