Dear Glyphs,  
Since **Avestan Script** , one of the most prominent Iranian writing systems for writing Middle-Persian text, was [encoded](https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/avestan/) in Unicode, that would be perfect if Glyphs could cover this script.  
Thanks for your consideration!

We need help for that. Do we need positional shapes? Is it LTR or RTL? Any kinds of OT features needed?

Can you set up Avestan glyph data with EditGlyphData.app? It is available in _Get Glyphs \> Tools._ Here is how: [Roll your own glyph data | Glyphs](https://glyphsapp.com/learn/roll-your-own-glyph-data)

Thanks for the reply. No, there is no positional shape. It is written from right to left like Arabic.  
Please find all the information about this script through this link: [Revised proposal to encode the Avestan script in the SMP of the UCS](https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4g78s0pz)

Not ideal. Should always be double digits. So, better like this:

Do you have a list of what you would require before adding a new script to Glyphs? Would it be enough to send a prewritten glyphdata.xml file and a Groups.plist file?

There is quite a few scripts that I would like to be supported by default in the program that has yet to be added.

@Deluge we add new scripts if someone with knowledge about it asks. So if you have any information about missing scripts, I’m happy to add them.

Btw, the Avestan script is already included in Glyphs 3.1.

Thanks! I checked my Glyphs and searched for Avestan, but I couldn’t find it. Is there something that I should do on my Glyphs in order to access Avestan character set? I appreciate your response.

PS: I use Glyphs 3 and it’s the last update 3.1

Not all scripts are in the sidebar listings. Check the Glyph info window for a full list of all infos.

Since the Unicode values are known about Avestan, just make a List Filter to generate the needed character cells.

Maybe in a future version of Glyphs 3 make it possible to drag-add the List Filter to a major category of the Languages section of the panel. In the case of Avestan, add Arabic from the popup, then drag the Avestan List Filter to the Arabic category.
