Generated characters end up in "others" category

Hi,

I have this prolem - when I generate characters with a script they end up in the “Others” category, even though the names are compatible. When I rename them by hand and go back to the same name, they jump in the appropriate place.

Anybody has any idea why that might happen?

You need to run Glyph > Update Glyph Info.

But the script should do that. Can you post the code?

I used Tosche’s Analyse Manuscript:

github.com

Tosche/Glyphs-Scripts/blob/master/Analyse Manuscript.py

#MenuTitle: Analyse Manuscript...
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
__doc__="""
(GUI) Calculates the minimal character set required for the pasted text.
Ideal for starting a font for specific text (e.g. book).
"""

import vanilla
import GlyphsApp

class AnalyseManuscript( object ):
	def __init__( self ):
		# Window 'self.w':
		edY = 200
		txY  = 14
		spX = 10
		spY = 5
		btnX = 250
		btnY = 20
		windowWidth  = 350

Oh, and the solution works - the Glyph > Update Glyph Info thing. Thank you!!!
