Hello!
Is it possible to change or add to the "Symbol Library"? If not, i'd love the ability to add my own symbols or symbol libraries of my own into the software!
Hi!
Yes, you can add pretty much any unicode character to the Active Symbols text field and those will be used when the circle generates. Be mindful that some fonts don't contain glyphs for those characters, so an unexpected fallback glyph could be rendered depending on your font choice.
You can also draw or import custom images to be used in your circle. I recommend importing the images first, then changing the Symbol Library to "Custom Sigils". That will populate the active symbols with references to your loaded images. Then when you generate a circle it will use those custom symbols. You can reference an image in a symbol text field like: __cs__13
The __cs__ is a tag that notifies the app that you want to use a custom symbol, then the 13 is just the Nth loaded image. These custom tags can only be used in symbol fields currently.
There are a few limitations that I'm still working on:
- Saving your changes to the various symbol libraries / allowing you create new sets.
- Custom fonts made via the font forge editor don't work well with unicode characters.
- Adding custom symbol support to Ring text and Line Text fields.
Please let me know if you run into any issues or have any more suggestions
