I didn't know about spaceCenterInputSamples and managed to get at them through the space center window itself. I should probably look at updating these: https://gist.github.com/okay-type/6e36bfd93e938f5f98253ab31a27f24e https://gist.github.com/okay-type/85e6f60fc35092d5a6249ee26b2bdd4c

Oh, that's going to be useful. Updated my gist so I don't forget how it works. Thanks.

Ah it looks like I'm only able to get build 1906031450 from both links on this page. It looked like both the "download latest beta" button as well as the build 1906031450 both link to the same DMG. Is there somewhere else I can get my hands on 1909120913? Thanks again!

Is there anywhere I might read more about scripts involving Metrics Machine? The next version of the current extension will have a scripting API. We're going to release it very soon.

Skateboard 1.4 released, sorry to say I did not get to address this issue for this version. It's on my list!

Is the explanation clear?

FYI: if you need to install a package for a specific python you can use pip3.6 install numpy

Lately I've been doing this a lot: need some text based on some font data write some code to print some text based on some font data run the code select the text in the output copy the text paste the text where I need the text I got tired of this, so I added some startup code* to RoboREPL that establishes some always-available functions to ease my laziness: from AppKit import NSPasteboard, NSPasteboardTypeString def toclipboard(text): pasteboard = NSPasteboard.generalPasteboard() pasteboard.declareTypes_owner_([NSPasteboardTypeString], None) pasteboard.setString_forType_(text, NSPasteboardTypeString) def fromclipboard(): pasteboard = NSPasteboard.generalPasteboard() text = pasteboard.stringForType_(NSPasteboardTypeString) return text Usage: >>> toclipboard("\n".join(CF().selection)) Then, paste it with ⌘V. Maybe something like this could be injected into the namespace in which all scripts are executed and/or added to mojo†? * >>> settings.editStartupCode() † …if something like this isn't already in mojo.

Rock star. My tcarons and tbars had picked up the wrong (duplicate) unicodes from bad Glyphbuilder code. Cheers for that.

@gferreira & @frederik, thanks for coming back. I’ll give Gustavo’s suggestion a try and then report back.

Hey guys, somehow I cannot roll out the popUpButton menu item. Any idea how can I do that? import AppKit import vanilla from mojo.UI import MenuBuilder def callback(sender): print(sender) def popUpButtonCallback(sender): print(sender.get()) popUpButtonMenuItem = AppKit.NSMenuItem.alloc().initWithTitle_action_keyEquivalent_("popUpButton", '', '') popUpButton = vanilla.PopUpButton((0, 0, 100, 30), ['a','b','v'] ,callback=popUpButtonCallback) view = popUpButton.getNSPopUpButton() view.setFrame_(((0, 0), (100, 30))) popUpButtonMenuItem.setView_(view) builder = MenuBuilder([ ("test", callback), ("test 2", callback), ("test 3", callback), popUpButtonMenuItem, ]) menu = builder.getMenu() print(menu) name = "My Menu With popUpButton" # get the menu bar menubar = AppKit.NSApp().mainMenu() newItem = menubar.itemWithTitle_(name) if not newItem: # if not, create one and append it before `Help` newItem = AppKit.NSMenuItem.alloc().initWithTitle_action_keyEquivalent_(name, '', '') menubar.insertItem_atIndex_(newItem, menubar.numberOfItems()-1) menu.setTitle_(name) # set the menu as submenu newItem.setSubmenu_(menu)

Hey guys, I created a small script that makes sorting contours easy (at least for me) https://gist.github.com/RafalBuchner/ff73b03d1c2970182d7dbe1d6060d32b Everyone, feel free to use that. I'm not sure about the usage of the Pens though: is drawing in rearrangeOrder function done accordingly to the proper way of using pen-protocol? I was improvising a bit and I'm not sure about it. I'm working from time to time with point labels. The pen object created by me is deleting data like that: Is there any good way to make sure that when redrawing the glyph none of the data like that will be erased? Best, R

thanks a lot!

@connor I think i recall @benkiel had some relevant mastering experience with Vēlo... Any tips, Ben?

sidetone: if vfb2ufo is installed and accessible in terminal, then RoboFont can open and generate vfb files. But vfb2ufo has lots of issues... there are combos possible with ufoCentral and eventually generating binaries and converting those... good luck anyhow!

No, nothing of that sort. It was a simple stupid programming mistake that must have existed there since day one, which sounds unlikely, too. So basically I can't explain it. Funnily, the Glyphs version of the plugin didn't didn't have it, eventhough I thought I had kept the core module identical. So it gets even more embarassing :(

@FosterType Hey Dave. I haven’t tried that. Nice tip, I’ll give it a go. Cheers.

@okaytype can we add this example to the docs? thanks! (edit: ✅ added)

Ahhh very nice. Thank you for letting me know!

hello @RafaŁ-Buchner, yes, I think it’s a good idea to remove the observer in your code. here’s what the defcon documentation says: Don’t Forget removeObserver The only real gotcha in this is that you must remove the observer from the observed object when the observation is no longer needed. If you don’t do this and the observed object is changed, it will try to post a notification to the object you have discarded. That could lead to trouble. and here’s an example script in which the defcon Glyph.Changed observer is removed when the current glyph changes.
