Script to get character outline boundaries

fredjonze (fredjonze) April 19, 2021, 4:45pm 1

I’ve browsed various script repositories and haven’t found examples of script bits that:

Script that gets the x/y boundaries of a specific character outline
Script that takes x/y boundaries and creates a rectangular outline

Suggestions of where to look?

Use the bounds property on a layer:

How do I reference the capHeight attribute?

Layer.master.capHeight

Other values are listed in the documentation.
