The goal of this guide is to define a workflow for generating icon webfonts that are 1. optimized for “pixel perfect” rendering at specific font-sizes and that 2. render consistently across modern platforms and browsers.


Glyphs.app settings and workflow

When you create a new font, remove all glyphs generated by default (first select them, then use the “-” button at the bottom). Icons should be created within a Unicode Private Use Area (PUA), not at the Unicode code points of existing characters.

In Glyphs.app, choose File → Font Info (⌘I), then select the “Font” tab. Set “units per Em” to 2048. You can also set a “Family Name” here.

Switch to the “Masters” tab. Set “Ascender”, “Cap Height”, and “x-Height” to 2048 and “Descender” to -128.

“the children came to a perfume shop. In the show window was a large jar of freckle 
salve, and beside the jar was a sign, which read: DO YOU SUFFER FROM FRECKLES?

What does the sign say?” ask Pippi. She couldn’t read very well because she didn’t 
want to go to school as other children did.

It says, ‘Do you suffer from freckles?’” said Annika.

Does it indeed?” said Pippi thoughtfully. “Well, a civil question deserves a civil 
answer. Let’s go in.”
