Text Tokens

Text tokens provide a way of inserting information dynamically into text fields. A text token is written as {{{token}}} where token is one of the following patterns:

versionString

The version number of Glyphs. For example: 3.4

buildNumber

The build number of Glyphs. For example: 3435

In the context of a font or instance, token can be a key path. A key path is an expression that uses the Core API to access values of a font (GSFont) or instance (GSInstance). For example, the token {{{fullName}}} expands a text like Some Family Regular.

In the context of a font master, token can be the name of a number value. See Number Values for details.

Properties of glyphs and glyph layer can also be accessed. First, write the name of the glyph and then the key path for a layer. For example, {{{zero:width}}} expands to a unit width of the glyph zero like 600. See Glyph Property Tokens for details.
