Release notes for FontLab 8.4.1.8932

3 September 2024

Version 8.4.1.8932 brings a few fixes on top of the changes introduced in 8.4.1.8926:

  • Fix If you use the Layers & Masters= panel to switch between ==Outline and Mask, the View panel correctly marks the current layer using bold. https://github.com/Fontlab/fl/issues/7860
  • Fix If you make a contour selection in the Glyph window, and you numerically change the value in the Horizontal (X) size or Vertical (Y) size text box of the contour property bar or of the widget, you can now confirm the new size by exiting the text box, for example by clicking into the canvas, or by tapping ⇥ or Enter. Previously, you had to tap Enter to confirm, other methods would revert the value. https://github.com/Fontlab/fl/issues/7856
