This may be obvious to folks who read the code, but just as a heads up: the script from 24 Oct 2019 doesn’t scale a lot of attributes in the font info, such as vertical metrics like the typo/hhea ascender, etc. For some reason that isn’t clear, it also didn’t scale the width of composed glyphs like /eacute, on an earlier run. However, after installing RF 4.5, it did seem to scale all glyph widths. Overally, just be careful and observant if you run this. It works well for fonts in the early stages of design, but you should be cautious on fonts that are closer to release.

If you need to work with JPG images, you could consider converting them to PNG format before adding them through the script. And hey, if you ever need to optimize those JPG files for better performance or smaller sizes, check out jpg compress tools. They can help maintain image quality while reducing file sizes effectively.

Dear Users, We are excited to announce the release of RoboFont 4.4! This version is packed with numerous new features, substantial improvements, and a multitude of bug fixes. Here’s a selection of the most important updates: Python Upgrade: RoboFont has transitioned from Python 3.7 to Python 3.9. Please be aware that some extensions may require updates to be compatible with this version. You might wonder why we chose Python 3.9 when Python 3.11 is available. The reason is that Python 3.9 is the last version that allows for the convenient bundling of embedded packages, ensuring compatibility with both Intel and Apple Silicon machines. Once updated to 3.11, our focus will shift exclusively to Apple Silicon. For more information, consult the RoadMap section of the Technical Specifications page. Design Space Document v5 Support: RoboFont now provides full support for all the new features of the design space document version 5. Erik van Blokland and Frederik Berlaen rewrote Batch and DesignSpaceEditor completely to take full advantage of these enhancements. Developers can also utilize the new UFOOperator object from the ufoProcessor package to manage their design space documents through Python. Many thanks to Erik van Blokland for his contribution! Glyph Editor Improvements: The glyph editor has undergone substantial improvements since the last public release. Numerous enhancements have been made in areas such as outline management, guidelines, and image handling, resulting in a smoother and more consistent drawing experience. Under-the-Hood Enhancements: Many changes have occurred under the hood of the application, some of which impact the public APIs utilized by developers. Notably, the subscriber module has received new add-ons, the list of embedded packages has been revised, and two new mojo submodules, pipTools, and ezuiViews, have been introduced. Update internal GNFUL list. (and before you ask, yes we tested it on macOS Sonoma) Check the release notes: https://robofont.com/version-history/ Download available from robofont.com

Thank you so much!! Enabling stroke did it :)

The mouse is just moving the off curves points of that segment, the curve itself is just a representation of those points
