Like so?

familyName = 'Fam'
styleName = 'Style'
Latin1 = ['space', 'exclam', 'quotesingle', 'quotedbl', 'numbersign', 'dollar', 'percent', 'ampersand', 'parenleft', 'parenright', 'asterisk', 'plus', 'comma', 'hyphen', 'period', 'slash', 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five', 'six', 'seven', 'eight', 'nine', 'colon', 'semicolon', 'less', 'equal', 'greater', 'question', 'at', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'bracketleft', 'backslash', 'bracketright', 'asciicircum', 'underscore', 'grave', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', 'braceleft', 'bar', 'braceright', 'asciitilde', 'exclamdown', 'cent', 'sterling', 'currency', 'yen', 'brokenbar', 'section', 'dieresis', 'copyright', 'ordfeminine', 'guillemotleft', 'logicalnot', 'registered', 'macron', 'degree', 'plusminus', 'twosuperior', 'threesuperior', 'acute', 'mu', 'paragraph', 'periodcentered', 'cedilla', 'onesuperior', 'ordmasculine', 'guillemotright', 'onequarter', 'onehalf', 'threequarters', 'questiondown', 'Agrave', 'Aacute', 'Acircumflex', 'Atilde', 'Adieresis', 'Aring', 'AE', 'Ccedilla', 'Egrave', 'Eacute', 'Ecircumflex', 'Edieresis', 'Igrave', 'Iacute', 'Icircumflex', 'Idieresis', 'Eth', 'Ntilde', 'Ograve', 'Oacute', 'Ocircumflex', 'Otilde', 'Odieresis', 'multiply', 'Oslash', 'Ugrave', 'Uacute', 'Ucircumflex', 'Udieresis', 'Yacute', 'Thorn', 'germandbls', 'agrave', 'aacute', 'acircumflex', 'atilde', 'adieresis', 'aring', 'ae', 'ccedilla', 'egrave', 'eacute', 'ecircumflex', 'edieresis', 'igrave', 'iacute', 'icircumflex', 'idieresis', 'eth', 'ntilde', 'ograve', 'oacute', 'ocircumflex', 'otilde', 'odieresis', 'divide', 'oslash', 'ugrave', 'uacute', 'ucircumflex', 'udieresis', 'yacute', 'thorn', 'ydieresis', 'dotlessi', 'circumflex', 'caron', 'breve', 'dotaccent', 'ring', 'ogonek', 'tilde', 'hungarumlaut', 'quoteleft', 'quoteright', 'minus']

newFont = NewFont(familyName=familyName, styleName=styleName, showUI=True)

master = RFont('/path/to/your.ufo', showUI=False)

for newGlyph in Latin1:
    exGlyph = master[newGlyph]
    newFont[newGlyph] = exGlyph

thom

Okay! Can you give a tiny example of the script? Thanks!

frederik

no, do this on the fly, make a script that extract only the glyph you need from a master UFO

thom

I see. So it makes more sense to make more ufo's if you want specific charsets for your fonts?

frederik

not automatically, mainly cause you have to deal with all the OT features (like kerning)

thom

O! the title should be: Generate/Compile /less yourCharset/greater only in otf
