So, I believe I am calling in the Glyphs app core API in my first line,
from Glyphs import *
and based on answers on the forum so far, I don’t think I can directly use the Glyphs Python API in remote scripts. So, there are PyObjC methods to do things, rather than straightforward Python API methods.
Interestingly, I’m realizing that even when I try to set custom parameters through the regular Python API, they only partially set … but don’t actually add new interpolation value fields to the font masters.
font = Glyphs.font
fontAxes = {
"Weight": "wght",
"Negative": "NEGA"
}
font.customParameters['Axes'] = fontAxes
# this Python API approach also doesn't quite work :/
Is there something extra that must be done to set an Axes custom parameter in a font and have it take effect?
