This multi-part tutorial will get you started with Python. You can read through it all in one morning, have lunch, and write your first scripts in the afternoon of the same day. Have fun!

In the first installment, we learned how to output some font and glyph info. Now we want to go a step further and actually manipulate the font. So, make a copy of your favorite font creation and warm up your Python muscles.

So, now that we’ve understood the object model, we can go on to extend our Scripts menu with our own scripts.

Functions are an efficient way to expand a script, yet keep your oversight and sanity. In this installment, we will use them for some font evil, har har.
