Etch-A-Sketch

Print sketch pages from RoboFont.

Needs DrawBot module installed.

From earlier script version — currently being refactored

See original script here

  • Custom font name when no font is open
  • Open font can be assigned as refrence in title block (e.g. when sketching different weights, etc.)
  • Adjustable x-height (in inches)
  • Distribution and number of sketch lines influenced by x-height
  • Ascender & descender guides: match current font metrics or user-defined when no font is open
  • Non-photo blue lines (for scanning — but not sure how useful
  • Grayed-out letters (to simulate trace paper)

Type some glyphs, print a sheet (or save a PDF), and sketch: screenshot1

Sketch a new font using current font as reference: screenshot2

If no font is open, the script will return a blank sketch sheet with guide lines: screenshot3
