back to the forum as a regular RoboFont user &amp; developer, now that the RoboDocs torch has been passed to @roberto-arista
With the RoboHackathon coming up next month, I am currently making plans to start upgrading hTools3 to RF4 during October.
hTools4 release is scheduled for the 1st of January 2022 – more info in the hTools4 roadmap.
About hTools3
hTools3 is a large toolkit containing more than 50 individual tools and scripts, which are organized around 4 main groups (scopes):
Batch tools – Tools to apply actions to multiple fonts at once: copying data between fonts, setting family data from plain text files, applying various actions in batch, finding &amp; replacing font infos, etc.

Font tools – Tools to modify various types of font-level data: adjusting vertical metrics, changing glyph order, exporting layers, replacing components, etc.
Glyphs tools – Tools to apply actions to the selected glyphs and/or the current glyph: transforming contours in various ways, changing metrics, interpolating between fonts, moving &amp; copying data between layers, modifying glyph names, etc.

Glyph tools – Tools to visualize and modify the current glyph: preview interpolation, show distances and angles between pairs of points, show handle measurements, etc.

Special hTools3 + hTools4 offer
The single user license for hTools3 costs 120€, hTools4 will probably cost a bit more.
As a special offer to raise funds for the glorious coding marathon of October,
users who license hTools3 until 31st September 2021 will get a free license for hTools4.
Here’s what current users have said about hTools3:
“A few tools alone make it worth the investment.” – Hugues Gentile, Production Type
“hTools is an essential part of my workflow, especially as a designer who wants to work efficiently but isn’t a Python coder. hTools is great!” – Jeremy Mickel, MCKL
Thanks for reading &amp; thanks for your support, see you in October!
Gustavo

Should tell you how unobservant I can be :) :(
18 ufos in 3 axes in the designspace causes this.
10 ufos in 2 axes does not.
My Broadacre font has 10 and Skateboard handles that designspace like a champ.
I'm ready to either help isolate the issue or send you these point-compatible ufos and designspace file.

you need to generate a binary first yourself, see the docs of RoboChrome

Generate your font via RoboFont as usual. For the sbix format you need to generate a TTF, it won’t work with OTFs.
If you click the Export to font button now, RoboChrome will know where to look for the TTF you just generated, and will save a copy with a _sbix suffix.

hope this helps!

You are trying to subscript an object which you think is a list or dict, but actually is None. This means that you tried to do:
None[something]

This  error means that you attempted to index an object that doesn't have that functionality. You might have noticed that the method sort() that only modify the list have no return value printed – they return the default None. 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable is the one thrown by python when you use the square bracket notation object[key] where an object doesn't define the getitem method . This is a design principle for all mutable data structures in Python.
