How to edit the font metrics parameters with a Python script?

1

I know how to edit the following parameters in Fontlab via Python but I don’t know how to make it in Glyphs. Can anyone help me with it?

TIA.

  • Ascender
  • Descender
  • typoAscender
  • typoLineGap
  • typoDescender
  • hheaAscender
  • hheaDecender
  • hheaLineGap
  • winAscent
  • winDescent

R.

Look at where each one is set in the UI of Glyphs. For example, ascender and descender are per master, so you would set that for the master. Take a look at https://docu.glyphsapp.com/#gsfontmaster
Others may be set as customParameters in the appropriate spot, e.g., master, instance, font. Untested code follows:

font = Glyphs.font
master = font.masters[0] 
master.ascender = 870.0
