How to generate composite glyphs in batches?

I think it's okay to add compound fonts to my fonts manually, but how do I import and generate fonts in the form of XML code? What are the specific steps?How to generate composite glyphs in batches?

I'm sorry, I can't understand the article you sent. I would like to ask you how to generate XML files into TTF files in FONTCTEATOR? Which button do I need to click in the FONTCTEATOR interface? Please help me. Thank you very much.

That is not possible.

Take a look at the Glyph Transformer Wizard.

To create the composited glyph uni4E00 in your first post, you could create a script to insert the glyph uni4E00 and complete composites based on HZ0001 and PY1087.

The definition for that would have to be added to the CompositeData.xml file.

Code: Select all

<Composite>
	<GlyphName>uni4E000</GlyphName>
	<Member id="1">
	<GlyphName>HZ0001</GlyphName>
	</Member>
	<Member id="2">
	<GlyphName>PY1087</GlyphName>
	<InheritLSB>TRUE</InheritLSB>
	<InheritRSB>TRUE</InheritRSB>
	</Member>
</Composite>

XML coding is quite powerful, but like all coding requires great care. Just one small typo in CompositeData.xml can break the Complete Composites feature. Keep backups when editing it and read the PDF Tutorial to understand the correct syntax.

I will be careful. Thank you for reminding me. Thank you again.
