Scripting in ChewPackThe complete guide to Python scripting: first script, recipes, full API reference, limits and safety.

ChewPack comes with Python. Write a few lines to set the spacing of 80 glyphs, build accented letters, rename a set or list what's still empty. The API follows FontParts (RoboFont, FontLab), so many existing scripts work with small changes.

Saved scripts appear in the Scripts menu and run in one click. Everything a run changes undoes with one Ctrl+Z.

See the full Scripting in ChewPack guide for a first script, copy-ready recipes and the complete API.
