One of the unique features of TransType Pro is an integrated macro
programming language. With this feature you can program repeated tasks,
define custom font transformations, and use TransType in many other
powerful ways.
Macro programs in TransType are written in the well-known and well-
documented Python programming language. TransType uses the standard
version of the language so almost all macros written in Python will work in
TransType. In addition to support of Python TransType provides a detailed
set of classes and variables that open some of the font data structures to
the programming interface.
The Macro pop-up menu is located below the Legend field in the Main
Window:
The Macro pop-up is available only if the Python language interpreter is
properly installed in the System. See the
Python Programming chapter for
details on installing and using Python in TransType Pro.
