STATMAKE(1)

✨ STATMAKE ✨

okay bestie gather round because statmake is literally here to take the STAT info from a Stylespace and glow it up onto your variable font 💅 that's the whole vibe, that's the job, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

statmake — applies STAT information from a Stylespace to a variable font ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's how you call her:

usage: statmake [-h] [--version] [--stylespace STYLESPACE] --designspace
       DESIGNSPACE [--output-path OUTPUT_PATH] variable_font

🌈 positional arguments 🌈

• variable_font — the path to the variable font file 🦋 this is the main character, the font getting the STAT glow-up.

💜 optional arguments 💜

• -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. iconic behaviour honestly.
• --version — shows the program's version number and then exits, periodt.
• --stylespace STYLESPACE — the path to the Stylespace file, but only if it's not already chillin' inside the Designspace. if it's already in there, you don't gotta pass this 🫶
• --designspace DESIGNSPACE, -m DESIGNSPACE — the path to the Designspace file that was used to generate the variable font. yes there's a short version too, -m, we love options 😌
• --output-path OUTPUT_PATH — writes the modified font to this path instead of doing it inplace. so if you don't want her overwriting your original, say the word and she'll drop the new one somewhere else 💖

heads up bestie: if you skip --output-path, the change goes inplace — meaning your font gets modified right where it sits. no undo, so maybe back it up first, iykyk 🙈

and that's the whole page, you ate it, you understood it, you're basically a font engineer now 💅✨
