config value to be applied to a specific master only

Open synthview opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Hello, I have a multimaster font an I’d need to apply *,Number,*,0.9,*,zero.numr to a master and *,Number,*,0.8,*,zero.numr to another. Is it possible to achieve? Thanks in advance

Currently config values are for all master, but you can: space first master, edit values and space the 2nd one

yes but this way I’ll forget what I have done 1 week before :p Couldn’t be possible to add a feature of having a “custom parameter” at master level assigning the file_name.py to use for the config? (= to have a config for each master, if no value, the default applies).

That's a good idea and I thought something similar. I will take a look at it soon. In the meanwhile, my solution is to backup the config file, and everytime I need to space a specific master, I just rename the file to use it.

Perhaps the file itself could contain the master name then? For example {glyphsFileName}_{masterName}_autospace.py. If said file doesn't exist, it then look in {glyphsFileName}_autospace.py.

Just a thought, I would love the ability to specify different configs per weight.
