[Scripting] Create multiple CP with same name

HugoJ · December 22, 2021, 11:22pm

I would like to generate multiple “Style Name as STAT entry” CP without overwriting the previous one, it’s possible ?

I’m using this code.

for axeTag in fontAxes:
	instance.customParameters['Style Name as STAT entry'] = axeTag

I found a solution (probably not the best, but viable)
I add a number at the end of the CP name when I generate them, and after I remove in each CP name generated the last char.

It works like this:

cp = GSCustomParameter("name", "value")
instance.customParameters.append(cp)

Just that for ‘Style Name as STAT entry’, only the first one would be used.

In the following example:

For the instance (Regular Weight/Regular Width) which STAT CP need to be set ?

Actually I have something set like this
