Good to see Thai and Burmese here! Didn’t we do Lao too though? Instead of Ball, call the Thai thingies Loops.

Are there more by now? Just curious.

Hi Georg,

Thanks.

Here is sample code:

Font = Glyphs.fonts[0]
print "Font: %s\n" % Font.familyName
for thisMaster in Font.masters:
	print "Master: %s\n" % thisMaster.name
	masterID = thisMaster.id
	Dimensions = Font.userData["GSDimensionPlugin.Dimensions"][masterID]
	if Dimensions:
		for key in Dimensions:
			print "   %s: %i" % (key, int(Dimensions[key]))
	print
