- Alternate diacritic (caron.alt) for Lcaron, lcaron, dcaron, and tcaron
- Axes parameter in Font Info > Font, choose Weight and Width (predefined options), then take care of the settings in Font Info > Masters and Font Info > Instances.
- Copy the scripts git clone path
- paste into terminal (if there are multiple Glyphs software installed; Glyphs1, 2, 3 etc, then in terminal check the path name correctly. for example if the folder name is 'Glyphs 3' (with space), in the terminal, it should be 'Glyphs\ 3' (for Mac users)

This link https://glyphsapp.com/tutorials/kerning covers the logic that supports it as well as the way to administrate it. This script https://github.com/schriftgestalt/Glyphs-Scripts/blob/master/Metrics%20%26%20Classes/set%20Kerning%20Groups.py would help to set a base that includes the most used groups.
- Put the Scripts in : Script > Open Scripts Folder > Add script files to the folder
- Restart GlyphsApp
- Scripts > Set Kerning Groups
- Scripts > Run: Set Kerning Groups (Option + Command + R)
- Remove Overlap: Filter > Remove Overlap (Cmd + Shift + O)
- Correct Path Direction: Paths > Correct Path Direction (Cmd + Shift + R)
- Correct all dependent glyphs spacing: Glyph > Update Metrics (Ctrl + option + Cmd + M)
- Clean up Paths: Paths > Tidy Up Paths (Command + Option + Shift + T)
Replace caron with apostrophemod for the glyphs below
