Is there a non-manual way to remove horizontal TT instuctions in FontLab

Martin Wenzel

Hi,

Maybe I’m lucky and there is a way to remove all horizontal TT instructions (controlling the vertical stems and margins) in FL, using a script for example. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with non-robofab python. Any pointer greatly appreciated. (I'm currently messing around with Adobe’s TrueType scripts for FL (from github) but they do not support hinted sidebearings.)

Thanks,
Martin

Here's a FLS5 Python script that does that.  
The same method can be used to just remove any specific types of instructions — just add a new list into the tthCodes dict and list your commands there.

Hi Adam,

Thank you, that’s perfect.

Best,
