@mr @jmickel I miss this feature as well The generateAllKernFiles.py from Adobe seems to be a nice workaround in the meantime? It is not as user-friendly as the MM feature but yea:(

Thank you!

Really substantive answer, @gferreira! Thanks!

Yes, it's very handy. It would be handy also in the scripting window. :) Thanks!

Hi there, I have a couple questions regarding point behavior: Why are there smooth corner (square) points? This only seems to yield outline errors in the UI or unusual handle generation upon opt-click-drag. Why does option-clicking or dragging on a segment sometimes also affect (and sometimes only affect) the adjacent segment? Attached image to help visualize what I'm talking about. TIA, Ryan

It's the same as in the original video. It's definitely happening less than before, though. I can't tell if it's a black stripe blinking or some other screen / window arrangement state blinking on momentarily.

Thanks! That is the exactly what I was looking for

Thanks for the response, @frederik. Looking forward to playing with these things in the beta!

then you dont need to call undo :) but you have to add undo items while editing. glyph = CurrentGlyph() # in RF 3.2 with glyph.undo("changed spacing"): glyph.leftMargin += 10 glyph.rightMargin += 10 this will 'record' the change, add an menu item. good luck!

there is a big difference between being compatible for interpolation (aka fontMath) and for variable fonts. Variable fonts requires (out of my head): same amount of point both oncurves as offcurves same amount of kerning pairs same amount of kerning groups same amount of glyphs

and I cannot reproduce the kerning issue... are you sure the 'a' is not in some group kerning?

Agreed, I just don't have much clout myself to request this. I know it's incredibly popular amongst FontLab and Glyphs users and it's the one thing that is making me hesitate using Robofont as my main editor. Thanks.

@tal said in Copying uppercase to lowercase (including kerning), and auto-add unicodes: Here's a little demo script that will copy kerning. Hmm, at least initially, when run, that causes an error: File "lib/fontObjects/doodleKerning.pyc", line 13, in _set_dirty mm4.MetricsMachineError: Glyph a is in more than one side 1 group. For now, I'll do some (partially) manual things in MetricsMachine to sort out kerning. I'll loop back with a suggested fix if I can loop back and figure something out!

Yes! Thanks @frederik & all :) Looking forward to it.

All groups except pulic.kern groups should be shown in the reference group editor.

Visual diffs of outline changes are hard. I wonder if a visual comparison of glyphs, side by side showing all layers, would be enough. Things with numeric values could be shown in some sort of list. Hm. This is an interesting project. Maybe it could be a robotools thing that could be integrated into RoboFont.

😄 This was excellent to find as the top post today. RoboFont forum titles might be my favorite usage of this. I wonder if that would wreck the SEO, though ...

Ahhh yes, I use alt in basically every shortcut I create, so I don't have to worry about overriding others. Maybe there could be a setting that would enable/disable this feature? If I want to edit a script, I don't find it that cumbersome to navigate to it in the scripting window.

Ahhh I completely missed that. Thanks!

Oh I'm an idiot — thank you Frederik!
