Script to move each glyph

[croy]

Hi,

I want to move any glyph in a font to align lowest point in each glyph on y=0 coordinate.

Is it possible by existing menus dialog ?

Is it possible by script ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

PS : the target font is a hieroglyphic font with several thousands of glyphs.

Thanks for your very fast reply.

Where is located documentation for this boundingBox function ?

Regards.

Please find below the script corresponding to my need :

import fontforge;

import psMat;

fontforge.open( "Bernhardt-EGPZB11.ttf" );

font = fontforge.activeFont()

font.selection.all( );

for glyph in font.selection.byGlyphs:

bbox = glyph.boundingBox( );

if bbox[1] < 0 :

mat = psMat.translate( 0,-bbox[1] );

glyph.transform( mat );

font.generate( "Bernhardt-EGPZB11.ttf" );

Thanks for your help.

In Python scripting you can use the boundingBox() methods to find the

glyph's descent and then translate the glyph upwards by that amount.

The last two lines can be shortened to:
for glyph in font.glyphs():
