@gferreira said in Stacked Diacritical Mark Construction and Syntax Help: abrevedotbelow = a + breve@top + dotbelow@a:bottom Great! Thank you!

I don’t think there’s a preference for that. but you can set the magnetism of all guides in a glyph to zero: g = CurrentGlyph() for guideline in g.guidelines: guideline.magnetic = 0

I'm currently having this same issue, as well. I'm in Robofont Version 3.0 (built 1803062007), and I've just re-downloaded Batch from GitHub to make sure I'm not using an outdated version. Here's my error output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/RoboFont3.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/fontTools/ttLib/ttFont.py", line 363, in __getitem__ KeyError: 'name' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/stephennixon/Library/Application Support/RoboFont/plugins/Batch.roboFontExt/lib/variableFontGenerator/__init__.py", line 580, in _generateVariationFont File "/Applications/RoboFont3.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/fontTools/varLib/__init__.py", line 733, in build File "/Applications/RoboFont3.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/fontTools/varLib/__init__.py", line 68, in _add_fvar File "/Applications/RoboFont3.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/fontTools/ttLib/ttFont.py", line 400, in __getitem__ KeyError: "'name' table not found" ​ I might just be doing something silly, but I don't think I'm doing anything too weird. Here are screenshots of my basic font info, the OpenType name tables, and the Postscript Identification fields. I've mostly left things as their default.

this is a known issue and already being fixed in one of the embedded packages: see https://github.com/typesupply/defcon/commit/bce898c1c2e6b24c4774fe9ca6f7a9f5b80ed6a0 this only happens with open contours... a update is scheduled soon

the problem was indeed in the oneToThree extension (now renamed to 1To3). please uninstall the extension, and install the latest version. things should work fine again.

there is even a notification for this fontDidChangeExternally. Subscribe and combine with @gferreira's example and you have a killer extension! see Custom observers: fontDidChangeExternally

@frederik this works great. Any chance you can do this too for the scripts below the Extensions section as well as the sidebar in the script window?

The bug is being resolved in the last beta... It had todo with RoboFont 3 looking for data from RoboFont 1 which does not exists on a fresh OS...

great news, it would be nice to give the beta version a test, so yes please, thanks a lot!

this is fixed in the beta. I can send you a beta so you can work in single window mode thanks

hello Erik, thanks for the feedback. the mojo.canvas page has been updated with more information (including a link to the NSEvent documentation) and code samples. I’m still trying to wrap my head around canvas… haven’t really built anything with it yet. groeten!

done

This will be fixed in the next update. Planned somewhere around the end of the week or early next week thanks!

what RoboFont does related to test install: each test install font path is added to a list in the prefs, on quit RF loops over this list and deinstalls all fonts. When RF crashes, it cannot deinstall those fonts. So the next launch detects those test installed fonts, a popup will appear and RF tries to deinstall them. RoboFont tries to inform users as much as possible on issues happening in the background. Silent fixes are not the best solutions for many cases...

that would be currentGlyphChanged...

@frederik Oh that makes sense. Neat—I'll get used to that.

after you run the script, you'll need to close and reopen the font for the change to take effect. (I've just tested it again in RF3, works fine) another solution would be not working directly on a server or DropBox folder, if possible. you could ‘check out’ the font to another place, edit, and then check it back into the server. (or use a version control system like Git, which works just like that; see this tutorial in the new docs.)

hello Erik, drawBot becomes available as a module when you install the DrawBot extension.

could you send the robofont.log file? that one is stored in <userName>/Library/Application Support/RoboFont folder thanks

more options: # get the source font f1 = AllFonts().getFontsByStyleName('Regular')[0] # get the destination font f2 = AllFonts().getFontsByStyleName('Bold')[0] f1.info.update(f2)
