From my documentation on experiments:

Importing the Display into the Libre Caslon Text GlyphsApp source

I suspected that the baseline wouldn't change in InDesign if the fonts were exported from the same GlyphsApp source. So, I imported LC Display into the LC Text source file, then exported these as static fonts.

Unfortunately, InDesign is computing the text box sizing based on the height of the lowercase /d in each font style ... so the baseline does shift when the style is changed.

Additionally, putting LC Display into the GlyphsApp source file prevents successful FontMake exports, even though I have only set up Text instances.

As a side-effect, the imported Display seems to lose its former kerning between /v and /e.

However, for now, my objective is simply to make the text styles publishable. So, I'll keep the Display out of the Text GlyhpsApp source, then fix these issues in the future.
