CallCommand 'create glyphs if empty'

Hello,

Anybody know the CallCommand equivalent for 'create glyphs if empty'?

I know SymbolNew CallCommand (32884) it's similar but works a bit diferent...

thank you,

Hell,

you can use this to get a full list of all CallCommand constants:

Code:

import fl_cmd

l = dir(fl_cmd)
l.sort()
for i in l:
print i, getattr(fl_cmd, i)

To fill empty slots in the curent encoding, try this:

Code:

enc = fl.font.encoding
for i in range(len(enc)):
if not fl.font.has_key(enc[i].name):
glyph = fl.font.GenerateGlyph(enc[i].name)
if len(glyph.components) > 0:
fl.font.glyphs.append(glyph)
fl.UpdateFont(fl.ifont)

regards

Why does fl.CallCommand(33538) not work? "33538" is the code for clearing the output window.

Hello,

I don't know why the command does't work. But you can try something like this

Code:

fl.output = ''
