How to change multiple width values

1

does anyone know of a way to change a selection of metric widths simultaneously? eg. in a monospace design, change all examples of width 483 to 484. I can’t do it with find/replace, or so it seems

You can use scripting from the Macro Panel to make such adjustments.

For example, change the width of all layers with a width of 483 to 484 like so:

for glyph in Font.glyphs:
	for layer in glyph.layers:
		if layer.width == 483:
			layer.width = 484

thank you

You can also select glyphs in the font view and use the info box in the lower left to change the spacing.

Hello, this script is very useful.
I have one more question. The script currently modifies values by adding or subtracting from the right side. If I want to perform additions or subtractions from the center, how can I adjust this script?

You need to change the script to do half of the adjustment to the left and half to the width/rsb.
