How to delete contours with a script?

1

Hi there,

I need to delete all contours in a number of glyphs so they are empty. How can I do that to a Pyhton list of glyphs?

TIA

for glyph in glyphs:
    for layer in glyph.layers:
        layer.paths = None

for glyphName in glyphNames:
    glyph = Font.glyphs[glyphName]
    for layer in glyph.layers:
        layer.paths = None

This will remove all paths in all layers. If you need to keep the outlines in layer copies, you need something like this:

for glyphName in glyphNames:
    glyph = Font.glyphs[glyphName]
    for master in font.masters:
        layer = glyph.layers[master.id]
        layer.paths = None
