Looking for a script to remove diactritic components

Scripting
1

Hi,
I am looking for a script that removes the diactritic components (like gravecomb) from component glyphs (like agrave). I know that this script exists, I used it to make Trialfonts. But somehow I am not able to find it again. It’s silly and all my fault. But I found this script so helpful to generate Trialfonts without any accents. Maybe one of you knows which script this might be. Thank you!!!

If you want to generate trials without accent, the best way to do it is to use custom parameter “Rename Glyphs” on your exports.

But I think you are thinking about the “Base Reductor” plugin by Mekkablue.
Check it from the Plugin Manager

Dear Hugo,
thank you so much, Base Reductor was the name I was looking for. Perfect.

Hi Claudius,

I’m trying to run the Base Redutor filter to export trial versions but it doesn’t work, Glyphs quits immediately.
Could you please explain how you set up this filter?
Thanks!

Use it as a “PreFilter” for now. I’ll check the crash.

Which app version are you using?

I can reproduce the crash. The filter adds components after the they where decomposed internally when exporting CFF. So if the accented glyph contains only paths, it need to decompose the components.
