Glyph editing techniques through use of an adornment object are described. In one example, an input is received identifying a glyph and an adornment object in digital content displayed in a user interface. Glyph anchor points are obtained based on the glyph and adornment anchor points based on the adornment object. A link is generated between at least one said glyph anchor point and at least one said adornment anchor point. An edit input is received specifying an edit to a spatial property the glyph. The spatial property of the edit is propagated to a spatial property of the adornment object based on the link.

Glyph sizing control techniques are described for digital content that provide insight regrading a true size of glyphs when rendered using a respective font and also leverages this insight to control font sizing and alignment. In one example, a glyph sizing system outputs a plurality of options to specify a unit-of-measure to control an actual size of a glyph as rendered in a user interface. Examples of units of measure include a capital height, x-height, ICF-height, dynamic height, object height, width, and other spans along a dimension, e.g., based on ascent, descent, or other. These units of measure are leveraged by the glyph sizing system to surface information regarding an actual size of respective glyphs for that unit-of-measure and control glyph sizing and arrangement.

In implementations of systems for generating snap guides relative to glyphs of editable text rendered in a user interface using a font, a computing device implements a snap guide system to receive input data describing a position of a cursor relative to the glyphs of the editable text in the user interface. The glyphs of the editable text are enclosed within a bounding box having a height that is less than a height of an em-box of the font. The snap guide system generates a first group of snap guides for the glyphs of the editable text which includes a snap guide for each side of the bounding box and a snap guide for an x-height of the font. The snap guide system generates an indication of a particular snap guide of the first group of snap guides for display in the user interface based on the position of the cursor.
