Updating All TextMesh Pro FontAssets with editorscript

I have a lot of fonts in my project and using TextMesh Pro (Build-In, 1.3.0). For all of the FontAssets I use "Character Set: Character from File" and they are sharing the same textfile.

However if I change the characters in that textfile, I have to do the following for all of the FontAssets:

1) Select the TMP_FontAsset-asset in Project-view

2) Hit the "Update Atlas Texture"-button in the Inspector-view

3) Hit the Generate Font Atlas in the Font Creator-view

4) Wait for around 10 seconds

5) Hit the Save button in the same view

This is time consuming and stupid, so I'm wondering, if I could do a clever editorscript batch, that does all of this for me. I have the following so far:

 #if UNITY_EDITOR
 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEditor;
 using TMPro;
 
 public class UnityEditorTools
 {
     [MenuItem ("Tools/Update All TextMesh Pro Atlas Textures")]
     public static void UpdateAllTextMeshProAtlasTextures()
     {
         var tmp_FontAssets = new List<TMP_FontAsset>();
         foreach (string guid in AssetDatabase.FindAssets ("t:TMP_FontAsset"))
         {
             string path = AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath (guid);
             tmp_FontAssets.Add (AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<TMP_FontAsset> (path));
         }
         foreach (var tmp_FontAsset in tmp_FontAssets)
         {
             //Do 1-5 here...
         }
 
         AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
         AssetDatabase.Refresh();
         Debug.Log ("Success.");
     }
 }
 #endif

But I don't know how to get to do the 1-5 on the tmp_FontAsset...

Any tips or helps would be most valuable! Thanks! :-)
