Request: Custom script for advanced "Add Glyphs"

Scripting
1

I am looking for someone to create a script for me (or an already existing script) that allows me to put Smart Settings and Position into the “Add Glyphs”.

Eg: uni0001{Position:10;0;Width:50;Height:75}+uni0001{Position:250;0;Width:50;Height:100}=uni0003

If anyone else is interested we could co-fund the script.
… Or if this is a feature that would be useful in Glyphs, please read this as a feature request.

That looks interesting.
It might need to be a tiny bit more complex. You might like to set the scale and rotation, too.

uni0001{pos:(10,0),scale:(100,90),Width:50,Height:75}+uni0001{pos:(250,0),Width:50,Height:100}=uni0003

This is proper plist now that makes it much easier to parse.
And there might be more properties:

  • anchor: attach to a certain anchor.
  • align: en/disable automatic alignment.
  • mask: enable the mask setting

And I wonder if the smart settings are better in its own key:

{pos:(10,0),scale:(100,90),smart:{Width:50,Height:75}}

Right, that looks better.

Is this to say there a possibility to have this added to Glyphs?
