I’m trying to find a plugin or unicode list that will easily copy/paste into the Glyphs List Filter. (Currently looking for Latin Extended E, F, G, and Cyrillic Extended A, B, C, D.) The Unicode PDF lists and Github lists that I’ve found have excess information that doesn’t cleanly copy/paste into Glyphs or Excel. I’m guessing this exists somewhere. Thank you!
If you can get lists in a text format, any text can be deleted or modified using a text editor. Copy and Paste into Glyphs Lists.
Search & Replace tools are extremely useful. That is how I built my preferred sets.
Putting all of Latin and Cyrillic into a list filter is probably not a good idea. That will be thousands of entries. That will impact performance.
What are you trying to do ?
Thanks @George_Thomas I can edit it’ll just take a while and I figured these lists exist somewhere!
@GeorgSeifert : I’m adding specific character sets to a font, the ones mentioned above. If it will impact performance, I could use them to add the sets and then delete the filters once I’ve added the right characters.
Have you looked at the list filters provided by Google Fonts?
I (more or less manually) restructured them to look nicer in the sidebar, but the basis is still from Google Fonts.
Thanks @SCarewe but I don’t see character sets labeled Extended Latin E, Cyrillic Extended A etc. so I wouldn’t be able to pull the accurate character set.
Looks like these sets aren’t commonly used, so I’ll put them together myself.
What exactly do you need these character sets for? Are you really looking for very specific character sets, or are you more interested in covering the languages they claim to support?
Maybe have a look at the TalkingLeaves plugin.
They are specific character sets for a client. I’ll check out the plugin, thanks so much!
What exactly did the client asked for?
My UnicodeInfo plugin allows checking/filling Unicode blocks. See the description on GitHub or find it in the Plugin Manager to install it.
You would need to select a Unicode block in the plugin window, “Show” to filter the font view, “Fill Block” to add any missing glyphs, then copy the glyph names to a list filter. It can be used on an empty glyphs file.
Latin Extended E, F, G, and Cyrillic Extended A, B, C, D
Thank you so much, Jens! I tried to Install it in Glyphs, but it gave me the error “Failed to get HEAD (unborn)”
installing through the Plugin Manager should work if Glyphs has proper network access.
Apparently that means that the GitHub server is not reachable, or that the download has been incomplete, in which case you should look at the Repositories folder and remove any leftover files for the plugin, see: Failed to get HEAD (unborn) - #2 by FlorianPircher
