Designing your own font? These glyphs 3 tutorials are here to help you level up your typeface design game and make unique custom fonts.

When making your own font, adding accent characters, marks or diacritics is an important part of font design. Making your font available for people who speak and write in other languages means your font can be used by more people. Fortunately, Glyphs 3 makes adding marks and accents (diacritics) to your font really easy and helps to keep a consistent design style throughout your typeface.

In this video, I show you how to automatically build glyphs with accents using combining marks in glyphs 3.

Glyphs 3 is a professional font design software, it's packed with lots of great features to help you design a typeface quickly. I use it to create all my commercial fonts.

Have you had issues with tildes not lining up correctly? I feel like I've got everything set up correctly and they're to the right of the character.

Don't forget, that UC letters and diacritics sit lover than LC ones. But it depends on design.
