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

      Thanks Arnaud! To add to this, I had some difficulty finding where in MM to actually do this, so... I found the option under "Batch Export" in the MM menu. I simply exported it into the font (features), and now makeOTF works to generate fonts directly!

      Dear users, RoboFont 4.3 is mature enough to be shared with you all! As usual, lots of bug fixes, user interface improvements, and a few adjustments on the APIs. Here's the list with the most important updates: FontTools has moved to DesignSpaceDocument v5. Tools like Batch and Skateboard work with the new format, but they do not support discrete axes. Add support for ctrl ⌃ + alt ⌥ + delete to completely remove a glyph from a UFO (including layers, kerning and groups). Keep unsaved glyphs into account while testing external changes. It avoids loosing data not saved on disk when reverting. Add support for dark mode and new toolbars on macOS 11 and 12. Point coordinates are typeset in italic if "Slant Point Coordinates" is on in the Preferences Adding a guideline with shift + g + click with an italic angle will apply the angle to the new guideline Display dragging lines with the italic angle if "Slant Point Coordinates" is on in the Preferences. Add anchor popover accept slanted coordinates, again, if "Slant Point Coordinates" is on in the Preferences. Massive reorganization of the subscriber docs. It's now easier to share single methods with HTML anchors. General improvement on the mojo.UI docs page: deeper hierarchy, categories, overall review of docstrings Reload operation in scripting window are now undoable. Add Reset Beam to space center settings menu as alternate of "Beam" (alt ⌥). Add Omit Mac Names in RoboFont tab in the font info sheet. Update internal GNFUL list. Remove local FDK support. Be aware that the minimum macOS version has been raised to 10.12. Check the release notes: https://robofont.com/version-history/
