Merge or copy one master into another?

[Ginjam (Jamie Clarke Type)]

Hello,

I’ve created a layered typeface and now I’d like to marge a couple of layers to make a flat version.
Is there a automatic way to copy the shapes of two or more masters into another?

I read this post but I’m not sure it’s doing the same thing:

Copy all glyphs from one master to another

Hi, I’d like to copy all glyphs from one master to another in the same font. How to do this all at once? I tried Mekkablue’s scripts “Fill up empty masters” but it did not work for me or I did something wrong. And yes, I have installed vanilla

Thanks

Jamie

You mean you have shape 1 on master A, shape 2 on master B, and now you want shape 1 AND 2 on master C?

[Ginjam (Jamie Clarke Type)]

Yes, exactly.

That is a task for a script. Keep an eye on my GitHub rep.

Thank you @makkablue That would be amazing and very generous.
I shall eagerly keep an eye out.

I uploaded a new script into the GitHub rep, see the Masters subfolder.

That is awesome! It worked a charm. Thanks @mekkablue, much appreciated.

Is there a way to batch ‘Reverse Contours’ on all glyphs? (The option appears greyed-out on the font view). This would enable one master to become a counter shape, by reversing it and then applying the merge script. A big timesaver for adding outlines and internal decorative shapes.

That would introduce outline errors in the separate masters. Better: Correct Path Directions on the merged master.
