Font Dashboard

Font Dashboard is a python script which generate markdown reporter showing Layer/Glyph Color Labels .glyphs or .glyphspackage file. Layer Color Labels are used in priority, if no Layer Color Label are assigned, it will use Glyph Color Label.

How to use it

If you don't have glyphLib and glyphspkg packages installed:

1. Open Terminal
2. Type pip3 install -r, drag and drop requirement.txt and press Enter

Else :

1. Clone/Download this repository
2. Open "Terminal"
3. Type python in Terminal
4. Drag and drop fontDashboard.py
5. Drag and drop your .glyph or .glyphpackage
6. Press Enter

It will create a markdown file next to your glyph file following this nomenclature : {date}_FontDashboard_{glyphFileName}

Customised meanings

Font Dashboard requires a colorNames.txt file stored in either ~/Library/Application Support/Glyphs 3/info or the same directory as the current Glyphs source file. Preference is given to the latter allowing for the sharing of the colorNames.txt file with glyphs source files to retain labelling information between project collaborators. For customise it, you just have to edit colorNames.txt file. (Only edit text after '=')

None=🫥 None
red=🚨 Red
orange=🦊 Orange
brown=🪵 Brown
yellow=🌼 Yellow
lightGreen=🍀 Light green
darkGreen=🫑 Dark green
lightBlue=💎 Light blue
darkBlue=🌀 Dark blue

By default, if there is no colorNames.txt, it will create a file stored in either ~/Library/Application Support/Glyphs 3/info
