Assigning a Master
With this command you can take glyphs from one font and put them into
one of the masters of the current MM font. The glyphs of the fonts are
linked using their names, so the glyph with the name “zero” in the assigned
font will be placed into the master of the glyph with the name “zero” in the
font where the master is being assigned.
When you select the Assign Master command from the Tools > Multiple
Master menu, you will see the dialog box:
There is a list of masters in the popup menu in the top of the dialog box.
Select one of the masters to be assigned here. There is a list of all open
fonts below the masters popup menu. Select the font whose glyphs you
want to put into the selected master of the current font. If you select a
Multiple Master font scroll bars and edit controls will appear allowing you
to select an intermediate design of the font.
