Post of the Autopsy script as a plugin for Glyphs. The script was original written by Yanone.

Autopsy

Autopsy is a Glyphs plugin for analyzing design consistency across multiple fonts.

It visualizes a selection of letters side by side and puts it into a PDF for visual comparison. If visual comparison isn’t enough for you, it dissects what’s there and what’s not and puts that into simple graphs.

Single fonts

Compare the design of glyphs across different fonts or families. Something you can’t do in FontLab without generating each font an loading them into some document.

Multiple Master instances

Multiple Master fonts are not supported yet.
