Font Forge Script help

I am trying to modify a font (not a roman script, the glyphs are ideograms)
I'm new to FontForge and I struggle to do operations like the following. I suppose that the only possible way is to use a script. Say I have a glyph selection, I'd like to know, for each glyph, what is the lowest point (Y coordinate), and to move the glyph according to a delta I give. Here's a specific example:
  • I select 3 glyphs.
  • I want all glyphs bottom aligned at Y = 100.
  • First glyph has its lowest Y a 80, I move it -20.
  • Second glyph has its lowest Y a 25, I move it -75.
  • Third glyph has its lowest Y a 110, I move it +10.
Is there way to achieve this? Command line, script, etc.
I searched Stackoverflow for hours. I didn't find anything related." (I also obviously looked at the FF documentation)
 
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance...
