Glyphs plugin for filling paths with black while you are still drawing them

ShowBlackFill.glyphsReporter

This is a plugin for the Glyphs font editor by Georg Seifert. It fills closed paths with almost black even while you are still drawing (yes, not perfectly black). After installation, it will add the menu item View > Show Black Fill. You can set a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences. I personally set it to Option+Command+B (I could make it as default, but don’t want to force it). There is a similar plugin called Show Filled Preview, and my version focuses more on neat fill without outlines, admittedly causing other info (guidelines and anchors) to be much less visible. Huge thanks to mekkablue for debugging.

Installation

1. Download the complete ZIP file and unpack it, or clone the repository.
2. Double click the .glyphsReporter file. Confirm the dialog that appears in Glyphs.
3. Restart Glyphs

Usage Instructions

1. Open a glyph in Edit View.
2. Use View > Show Black Fill to toggle the the Black Fill Preview.
