Font-specific metadata locations for linux (as defined in font-metadata-locations.md) should follow the XDG Base Directory Specification.

Specifically, system-wide font metadata files should be searched in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/SMuFL/Fonts/<fontname>/<fontname>.json (which can be multiple locations), while local metadata should be in $XDG_DATA_HOME/SMuFL/Fonts/<fontname>/<fontname>.json.

See the XDG Base Directory Specification for more info.

(Also, I haven't read the whole SMuFL specification, so their might be other places than font-metadata-locations.md where this applies.)

Hi,

I'm Nor Eddine Bahha, a jazz pianist and type designer. I'm trying to generate the JSON file for my smufl'd BopMusic font, so I followed your steps for FontLab and Glyphs app. But, the generate_font_metadata.py seems not to work at all, even I could generate the smufl font JSON but with no extra metadata inside...maybe the .py files aren't compatible with new versions of FL7 and Glyphs app?....

Thanks a lot for your kind help and support.

Nordine.
