Resistenza Type Scipts and Plugins

[beppeartz (Giuseppe Salerno)]

Hello everyone,

We’re releasing our first scripts and plugin — you’ll find them in the Plugin Manager by searching for “rsz”.

Scripts — github.com/rsztype/Scripts

• MasterTwins — clones one master into another (whole font or selected glyphs), paths, components, anchors, metrics, hints. One single undo, for when you decide it shouldn’t have. I know @mekkablue made Copy layer to layer script, but here you can pick also some glyphs only.
• Postino — delivers the selected glyphs to the other open fonts, filling every master. Masters pair by name, and the summary tells you honestly where it improvised.
  We mostly use it to push our logo glyph into every font in the catalogue, Postino is Italian for postman / mailman.
• ShortNames — short PostScript and file names for every exportable instance.
  Reads the Typographic Family Name, so no more YourAwesomeFontCondensed-CnBd saying “condensed” twice in case you missed it.
• StyleLinker — style linking for Bold / Italic / Bold Italic, width groups included. Knows that SemiBold is not Bold.

Plugin — Numeratore

I love this!
An Increase Version switch in the Inspector: every export bumps the version by 0.001 and saves. Previously released as Version Bumper — remove that one first, unless you enjoy having two identical palettes.

All free to use and modify.
Feedback, bug reports and better ideas very welcome.
Hope you like them.

Ciao

Update on Numeratore:

By request, you can now also add the version number directly to the filename.

Wouldn’t it be easier to use a token in the fileName parameter (e.g. {{{fontName}}}-{{{version}}}?

You mean something Like this? @GeorgSeifert

[GeorgSeifert]

No. Like this:

(should be a checkbox, but your plugin can define that)

[GeorgSeifert]

Here are some bits of code that might help:

GSGlyphsInfo.addType_forParameter_forClass_(True, "Increase Font Version on Export", GSFont.__class__)
GSGlyphsInfo.addDescription_forParameter_("This increases the font.version on every font export", "Increase Font Version on Export")

Then the parameter will show in the list of parameters:

That will make it display a checkbox (instead of the text field):

You mean something Like this? @GeorgSeifert got it thanks!

[GeorgSeifert]

I ment to enable it per font in the font settings.

[beppeartz (Giuseppe Salerno)]

Yes, I got it.

I did a no-palette version following your tips
