    A simple way to make some kerning strings, for kerning and/or proofing your kerning.

    Change the "side1Names" to glyphs you want on the left side of pairs, and change side2Names to glyphs you want on the right side of pairs.

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. Copy space-separated list(s) of glyph names from a font editor, then paste into side1Names and side2Names below
      - In GlyphsApp, select the glyphs you want, right-click (or control-click) and select Copy Glyph Names > Space Separated
      - In RoboFont,  select the glyphs you want, then press OPTION + COMMAND + C
    2. Paste those names in the glyphNames variable below, between the quotes

    DISCLAIMERS:
    - WORK IN PROGRESS – works pretty well, but could use a few more improvements
    - May or may not work for your particular project
    - Always read scripts before you run them, and back up your work before you run scripts

    A script to take the sources of Name Sans and output slanted versions of these,

    A script to set the default instance of a variable font’s wght axis to 400 (Regular).

    From https://gist.github.com/arrowtype/9fefe9633cae500bbaf0000230f6a3ed

    This can perhaps be more intuitive to designers who expect "Regular" to be the default weight of a variable font,
    or for web developers who don’t set a weight range in their @font-face webfont setup.

    This could be easily adapted to set defaults along other axes. It simply uses the FontTools Instancer module.

    Remove instances with a non-default opsz location from a variable font,

    using this on an opsz-only font. Do your own testing!
