Methods

__init__([name, sides, keyglyph, glyphs, ...])
fromFontLabClass(flClass)
getFontLabExternalClassCode()	External class code is the format written by FontLab when saving classes from the Classes panel.
importFromFontLabClass(flClass)	Builds a new kerning class from an fl.font.classes element string, e.g. "_LAT_a_LEFT: a' adieresis".
importFromMMClass(mmClass)	Import the class from a MetricsMachine class.

Attributes

keyglyph

Return or set the keyglyph to a glyph name.

getFontLabExternalClassCode() → str

External class code is the format written by FontLab when saving classes from the Classes panel.

importFromFontLabClass(flClass: str) → None

Builds a new kerning class from an fl.font.classes element string, e.g. “_LAT_a_LEFT: a’ adieresis”.

Parameters:

flClass (str) – The FontLab class string
