Changing Glyph Suffix in FL
Sandy Cerovich
Posts: 17
Is there a way to change the suffix for a large number of glyphs at one go in FontLab? I know you can use the contextual menu More -> Add Suffix to Name...but that doesn't change the name in classes and features. I know you can use Rename to change the glyph name in the font, classes and features, but that only works on a single glyph at a time. I'm looking for something that is a combination of the two...

I use a Python script that Adam Twardoch wrote: 'Rename glyphs by regex'. This enables you to do search and replace operations on glyph names, using regular expressions, so you can not only change parts of names such as suffixes, you can also insert character strings into names.
I've not been able to find a current link for this script, though. You could try contacting Adam via FontLab forums.0 -
