ABOUT

These are Python scripts for use with the Glyphs font editor.

INSTALLATION

1. Put the scripts folder (or an alias) into the Scripts folder which appears when you choose Script > Open Scripts Folder (Cmd-Shift-Y): ~/Library/Application Support/Glyphs/Scripts/
2. Then, hold down the Option (Alt) key, and choose Script > Reload Scripts (Cmd-Opt-Shift-Y). Now the scripts are visible in the Script menu
3. For some of the scripts, you will also need to install Tal Leming's Vanilla: Go to Glyphs > Preferences > Addons > Modules and click the Install Modules button. That’s it.

git

I recommend to use git for getting the scripts, and syncing them on a regular basis. Use this git command for cloning the repository into your Scripts folder:

git clone https://github.com/mttymtt/Glyphs-Scripts ~/Library/Application\ Support/Glyphs/Scripts/mttymtt/

And this one for updating it:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Glyphs/Scripts/mttymtt/
git checkout

If the terminal scares you, feel free to use one of the many readily available git clients.

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.
