Does those crashes happens each time? are they reproducible? Does it happens when you launch RoboFont with shift down? No extensions or external script are installed. could you send over your log file? to frederik at robofont.com https://robofont.com/documentation/tutorials/submitting-bug-reports/#console-log thanks

@frederik Thanks. I will let the designer know. (I'm just doing the QA.)

great, good to know! 🎉

hi @paulinefourest, we did not change the undo behaviour, if you keep having this issue, please let us have a few more details on your setup. 👋

hey @MARYB here you can find a detailed tutorial 👋

As a belated update, I found that the script above didn’t handle Template Glyphs well. It would remove all template glyphs from the font. This current version of the script handles template glyphs: https://gist.github.com/arrowtype/9ef6ce07233af2d80bc0bfb4290d642c

should be fixed by Jens, update with Mechanic

He Pepijn! Test installed fonts are not saved to disk. They are accessible by family/style name for your user everywhere on your system.

Dear users, RoboFont 4.1 is OUT! Lots of bug fixes, a few tweaks to the UI and better support for BigSur & Monterey. Here's a list with some of most important updates: Anchors and Guidelines can now be edited through a popover instead of a sheet The subscriber docs were improved since 4.0 release The guideline angle knob now rotates in the same direction as the guide it edits Join selection got a little bit smarter. If you select two end-points and some other points, instead of closing the open contours, RoboFont will still join the selected end-points “xHeight cut” display option in Space Center has been renamed “Cut Off”. You can now edit it with cmd ⌘ when no glyph is selected 4.1 adds support for space center underline selection, you can activate it through the Preferences Editor The docs fancy a new shiny Custom Lib Keys page: https://robofont.com/documentation/reference/api/custom-lib-keys/ Check the release note: https://robofont.com/version-history/ Download available from robofont.com!

The failure to generate instances began when I added 73 new glyphs, though Skateboard continued to work and fonts would generate. I appreciate any help. This is the traceback when DesignSpaceEdit fails to generate instances: File "/Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/vanilla/vanillaBase.py", line 506, in action_ self.callback(sender) File "/Users/gregory/Library/Application Support/RoboFont/plugins/DesignSpaceEditor.roboFontExt/lib/designSpaceEditorwindow.py", line 1656, in callbackGenerate if self.documentHasStructuralProblems(): File "/Users/gregory/Library/Application Support/RoboFont/plugins/DesignSpaceEditor.roboFontExt/lib/designSpaceEditorwindow.py", line 1579, in documentHasStructuralProblems checker.checkEverything() File "/Users/gregory/Library/Application Support/RoboFont/plugins/DesignSpaceEditor.roboFontExt/lib/designspaceProblems/__init__.py", line 155, in checkEverything self.checkGlyphs() File "/Users/gregory/Library/Application Support/RoboFont/plugins/DesignSpaceEditor.roboFontExt/lib/designspaceProblems/__init__.py", line 446, in checkGlyphs self.checkGlyph(name) File "/Users/gregory/Library/Application Support/RoboFont/plugins/DesignSpaceEditor.roboFontExt/lib/designspaceProblems/__init__.py", line 484, in checkGlyph if not 'name' in ad: TypeError: argument of type 'RAnchor' is not iterable

@frederik sweet! It's working again, thanks a lot!

RoboFont works fine on Monetery. Some extensions with from AppKit import * fails to load. This is already fixed in most extension. This bug is reported in the repository of pyobjc and should be fixed with the next version of pyobjc (which will be embedded in the next version of RoboFont)

the order is important: py stops looking for packages if there is one found strange you can not acces those packages: could you send a screenshot of that folder? everything should be at root level, not in a sub folder inside external_packages

Thanks for the background, and for giving it some thought! Will let you know if any ideas come to my mind as well.

Thank you Frederik!

@frederik Hate to bring up Ill*strator, but I actually think it handles this pretty well (no pun intended).
