About

These are Python scripts intended for font production in the Glyphs font editor.

Installation

I recommend to use git for getting the scripts, because it is easier for you to keep them up to date. Use this git command for cloning the repository into your Scripts folder:

git clone https://github.com/aleftypefoundry/glyphs-scripts ~/Library/Application\ Support/Glyphs/Scripts/atf/

If the terminal scares you, feel free to use one of the many readily available git clients, e.g. the free Source Tree or GitHub Desktop.

After you installed the ATF scripts, you can update this script repository (and all the others you have in your Scripts folder) by running Scripts > mekkablue > App > Update git Repositories in Scripts Folder.

Troubleshooting

Please report problems and request features as a GitHub issue. Make sure you have the latest version of the scripts and your app is up to date. And please, always indicate both your Glyphs and macOS version. Thank you.

Requirements

The scripts require a recent version of Glyphs 3.x running on macOS 10.9 or later. I can only test them and make them work in the latest version of the software. If a script is not working for you, please first update to the latest version of the script.

About the Scripts

All the scripts show a tooltip when you hover the mouse pointer over their menu entry. In scripts with a GUI, most UI elements (checkboxes, text entry fields, etc.) have tooltips as well. This way you get the explanation you need right where it counts.

• Cursive Cleaner: Removes entry and exit anchors from glyphs. Can handle exceptions glyphs.
• Generate Webfonts: Generates webfonts (WOFF2) from instances (or selected instances) with css file.
• Remove Overlap: Removes overlap in all glyphs.
• Scale Selection: Scales the selected glyphs by a factor.
