Using an Axis Panel
When the Preview mode of the Glyph window is active you can display an
intermediate instance of the MM font that is selected for editing.
Open the Axis Panel by using the Window > Axis Panel command. You
will see the Axis panel appear:
This panel has a slider and an edit box for each axis in the MM font. Use
these controls to select the design coordinates of the intermediate instance
that you want to preview.
The filled preview of the selected intermediate design will appear in the
Glyph Window in gray:
Four masters’ outlines and an intermediate preview in gray
If an active master is the same as the selected instance (as when master
Wt0 Wd0 is active and both sliders are in the leftmost positions), the filled
preview will appear in black because it precisely corresponds to the active
master.
