Adding new glyph to Font using python

Scripting

Does anyone know how to create a new glyph in the macro-panel?

Font.glyphs.append(newGlyph)

Thanks.

Hi

You can do it like this:
newGlyph = GSGlyph(“myGlyphName”)
Font.glyphs.append(newGlyph)

or

Font.glyphs.append(GSGlyph(“myGlyphName”))

Awesome! Thanks

Hi Georg,
if i get this right, Font.glyphs is a python list, is it? So how can i delete a glyph? Font.glyphs.remove(oldGlyph) - as i would asume - doesn’t work…
Thanks

Just as you would remove something from a regular list.
del(font.glyphs[oldGlyph.name])

or
del(font.glyphs[index])

Thanks! - and sorry; python is still a bit confusing for me … it get’s better.
