entering advance width values into exit cursive attachments

Post by Bernie Cossentino »

I'm sure it's in the program somewhere, but is there a way to automatically enter a glyph's advance width values as exit "x" values for a cursive attachment lookup? I've been entering these values tediously, one by one, up till now. I've searched through the manual but can't get any clarification on this.

Appreciate your assistance

Thanks for your reply.

Is there a way to assemble a list of values from a selection of glyphs, so that I can try to edit them in an external app.

edit: ok, I've completed my task, but have had to do so by creating a cursive lookup, add my glyphs, enter the editor and copy/paste that data into a text application. Then it's a matter of filling in the desired x values (advance width) one by one from the info in the glyph properties. Not so bad for 10 to 20 glyphs...but tedious when there are more to deal with.
