Using Interpolation to Make Masters
If two styles are completely incompatible you can use the Interpolate
operation (described in the “Glyph Window” chapter) to make master
fonts.
Put one style on the outline layer and define an axis. Put the other style on
the Mask layer using the Assign Mask dialog box.
Select the master that should look close to the appearance of the style on
the Mask layer and activate an Interpolation operation. Use Interpolation
to “stretch” the outline on the Mask layer. This is relatively easy to do
because the destination points of the interpolation links will stick to the
Mask layer.
After you complete work with the Interpolation tool use the Edit tool to
fine-tune the master.
