Simple script: test in batch if all tabular and fixed width values are correct

Hi there,

Here is another simple script I wrote for Fontlab (it should also work in Robofont I think) to test if all fixed width glyphs have the right value in all open font. You can easily adapt it to your foundry production standards editing the glyph lists and variables at the top.

#FLM: ReType Tabular Checker V1.0
#Test if tabular and non spacing glyphs have the right width
