I’m unable to set the licenseURL in a font, even though I can set related properties like manufacturerURL

[arrowtype]

Expectation: GSFont(fontPath).licenseURL = "https://opensource.org/license/mit" should set a GlyphsApp font’s License URL to https://opensource.org/license/mit.

Current experience: The licenseURL attribute setter doesn’t seem to have any effect – even though related attributes such as manufacturerURL do work.

Reproduction case:
https://github.com/arrowtype/test-glyphslib-licenseURL-setter

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but this seems like it just doesn’t work.

I’ve tested this in glyphsLib 6.7.0, 6.6.6, and 6.6.5.

Please let me know if any more information would be helpful here. Thank you for taking a look!

PS: I’m also not sure if it’s related, but the GlyphsApp API docs don’t include a licenseURL font attribute. Please let me know if this should be related over in the GlyphsApp forum instead / in addition.

that will work soon like this:

font.properties["licenseURL"] = "https://opensource.org/license/mit"

This is the preferred way to set font properties. The direct settlers are just there for convenience.

Ah, great to know – thanks so much! (I suppose I can just keep an eye on this issue to catch when the support is added, or is there a particular PR already?)

It is in the branch "Glyphs3_merge".

Got it, thanks!
