Getting script of glyph

[georgeyjm]

I am trying to get the script by a glyph's unicode value. It seems like this is not yet supported, and accessing the property GSGlyph.script always returns None. But I'm not completely sure if this is indeed the case. If so, I will try to fill this part in.

a GSGlyph.script is None by default, it's purpose is to allow one to override the default script definition for a specific glyph (via the CTRL+OPTION+I panel). The default script for a given glyph name is stored in the GlyphData.xml, and accessible from glyphsLib by looking up the glyph name with e.g. data = glyphsLib.glyphdata.get_glyph("A"); assert data.script == "latin"

get the script by a glyph's unicode value

you can try to query the glyph database directly using the unicode value (as hexadecimal string), e.g.:

>>> from glyphsLib.glyphdata import GLYPHDATA
>>> GLYPHDATA.unicodes.get("0061")
{'unicode': '0061',
 'name': 'a',
 'category': 'Letter',
 'subCategory': 'Lowercase',
 'script': 'latin',
 'description': 'LATIN SMALL LETTER A'}
>>> GLYPHDATA.unicodes.get("0061")["script"]
'latin'
>>> GLYPHDATA.unicodes.get("104A3")["script"]
'osmanya'

Thanks a lot! I thought GSGlyph.script being defaulted to None meant it was not implemented yet. This is super helpful!
