Issue with Mekkablue's Layered Font to Color CPAL script

1

Hi,

I’m working with a layered font and I want to convert it in a CPAL color font.
Mekkablue’s script works fine, but it creates a default layer with a mix of all the layers instead of just the first layer. I’d like to have just the top layer as default layer.

Also, is this the correct setup?
-Regular
–Background
–Shadow
–Top

Thanks in advance!

You can export a layer font as COLR directly. Or do you like to add/change more stuff only possible in with Color X layers?

I didn’t know it was possible to export directly without the sublayers. Is there any documentation about it?

I just want to set specific colors to the layers. If it’s possible to do it from the layer fonts it’s perfect for me.

Oh, now I see the online Handbook:

I’ll check it. Thanks!

That’s intentional. Some renderers take the fallback layer’s bounding box for clipping.

Oh, I should use the script then.
The layers with glyphs that are components paste together automatically aligned side by side so I should decompose before running the script.
