# Glyph IDs

<div class="page view" id="bkmrk-source%3A-https%3A%2F%2Fgitl"><article>Source: [https://gitlab.com/EllenWasbo/inkscape-extension-getsetGlyphIDs](https://gitlab.com/EllenWasbo/inkscape-extension-getsetGlyphIDs)

These two extensions streamline the process of creating fonts using the Custom Stroke Font extension [https://github.com/Shriinivas/inkscapestrokefont](https://github.com/Shriinivas/inkscapestrokefont). With a font with many glyphs it might be quite cumbersome to set the ids of each glyph manually using the XML editor. Use the getGlyphIDs to fetch the IDs before editing a font - the path IDs are easily changed during editing. Use the setGlyphIDs to set the path IDs effectively based on a string input having all the glyphs ordered from left to right.
