Before you try it

Begin with a disposable font and a small change. Supported operations depend on the connected bridge. Review results in Glyphs; accepting an edit and saving your font are separate actions.

Earlier core release checks cover Apple silicon on macOS 14.6.1 and 26.6.2; 2.1.0 passed full source checks, signed runtime checks, manual VM upgrade and native export verification. Managed Beztrace setup is qualified on Apple silicon with macOS 26.6.2 or later. Exact macOS 14.0 and physical Intel execution remain unverified.

Read qualification and known limits or use troubleshooting.
