Greetings to all. A colleague is considering buying a second-hand iMac (2014ish) and Glyphs. I figure Glyphs will run on just about anything (https://forum.glyphsapp.com/t/glyphs-hardware-requirements-macbook-air-2020/14348).
It's just that I've heard not-so-good things about the Macs with an Intel GPU only like the MacBooks Air and those 20ish" iMacs. I hear there are problems with the more recent Macs with Radeon 5300 / 5500 too. That's in reference to more intensive work like video editing though; maybe it doesn't really matter in a workstation meant just for font editing?
1. Does FL7 and/or Glyphs use the GPU a lot? (I'm thinking general operation, but also some more intensive stuff like working with complex outlines, Glyphs plugins like LettrInk etc.).
2. Is there a chance Glyphs stops being so generous in its support of macOS 10.11? (It's more of a question whether it stops supporting Mojave/Catalina, but I guess that one's tough to answer for anyone?)
By the way, I'm considering getting an M1 Mac and working with FL7 and possibly Glyphs there. Any roadbumps with using those via Rosetta?
