Scripts for the font editor Glyphs3
-
Bumpy Deformer: Apply shape transformations similar to Adobe Illustrator's Warp effect ( Bumpy, Curve:0% ).
-
Add All Side SB Anchors: This script adds, updates, and deletes TSB/BSB and LSB/RSB anchor pairs to selected layers. Anchors can be positioned by specifying an offset from the glyph's bounds or from the metrics center. It assists in setting up anchor-based proportional metrics, especially useful for glyphs in CJK fonts.
-
Fit Metrics to SB Anchors: This script automatically sets a glyph's width and height based on the positions of SB anchors. It is particularly useful for designing custom anchor-based proportional metrics in CJK fonts. Additionally, it includes a function to check for the presence of SB anchor pairs, allowing you to verify them before execution.
-
Check & Fix GDEF Table: This script checks the GDEF table version of exported OTF/TTF fonts and automatically fixes incorrect 0.0 versions to the appropriate version (1.0, 1.2, or 1.3) based on the font's internal data. Additionally, it provides a GUI to verify the current GDEF version before execution and safely saves the corrected font into a new folder without overwriting the original file. Note: This script requires the vanilla and fonttools modules.
