GlyphHub

— This page is a work-in-progress —

GlyphHub is a project developed by a bachelor student team at Hasso-Plattner-Institut as their Bachelor’s project, titled “The Font Engineering Toolkit: Live Font Creation in a Self-supporting Programming Environment”, in cooperation with Lasse Fister.

The project aims to demonstrate a way to facilitate communication between font designers, reviewers and engineers.

It has been realized in Squeak/Smalltalk using the Morphic UI framework and involving a Python server based on Flask and Eve. We use fontmake for conversions from glyphs to UFO font files.
