      @naorem not all extensions have been updated for RF3 yet. we’ve updated some (see activity of the RoboDocs account), and provided upgrade instructions and detailed documentation for developers. but there are almost 100 extensions on Mechanic alone… in the end, each extension developer is responsible for his/her tool.

      You can use the same extension on your personal computers (similar to §1.4 of the RoboFont EULA). I will state this more clearly on the Extension Store site. thanks

      Batch supports both flavors inside a woff. It’s up to you to pick one, each of them has benefits and downsides. OTF will be close to the original while a TTF is mostly converted. A TTF flavored one can contain TTF hinting... Good luck

      mmm I see the problem is that its edits the blue zones, and when the font info has changed, RF will update tons of views and cells... I would store it temporarily in font.lib while editing (as you want to jump to different glyphs and see the same values). When not editing (dragging fe) write it back in the font.info.

      TL;DR a long text string in MM preview window slows it to a crawl. Can it be faster? When I kern a pair of letters, I have a string of words in the preview window to check them in context. For example, if I’m kerning an Upper/Upper list and I’m on J/UC, I'll paste this string into the window: J JARN ENAJER HEBJORN HOCJERM HODJERN REJOINER FJERNISCHE LAKJERNIS REJOINER KLIPJENNI MARJORAM SJORNE MATJINKO JUNIPER HUJIME HIVJINE HIJVINE HIJWINE HIWJINE HIJYINE HIYJINE HIZJINE HIJZINE A string this long really slows the extension to a crawl. The old standalone MM app used to handle a string like this. Is there any way to beef up the extension somehow? I’d really appreciate it!

      @frederik Ah, ok. That sorta makes sense. I imagine there is some deep logic to figure out here. In the mean time, could the wording perhaps match the group editor and exception dialog? At the moment it's Side 1 | Side 2 in the group editor, and Kern 1 | Kern 2 in the exception dialog.

      hi @D7yrR, the extensions you mention (SpeedPunk, CurveEqualizer) are indeed the closest ones in terms of funcionality. you could try asking the author of SuperTool if he can develop a version for RoboFont… good luck!

      Thank you so much too, @frederik! I think I'm going to stay with 3.1 using this working version of Batch for RF3.1.

      That is correct @ConnorDav some extensions are not ported yet... follow the issue and progress in the robodocs repo.

      In RF3 the kerning icon in a font window is not MM anymore, RF just shows a kerning icon and opens RoboFont default Kern Center. However it can happen MM is listed ‘Edit With’, apps supporting UFO (similar as in Finder).

      @ThunderNixon I'm happy to hear you found the problem. Skateboard doesn't validate the XML (yet - maybe it should, I'll make a note). Please note the designspace file spec moved to the fonttools. You can find it fonttools/Doc/source/designspaceLib/ Personally I try to avoid writing the xml by hand (situation, preference and external factors permitting of course) and prefer to write small scripts using designspacelib or ufoprocessor. While the script might be just as verbose as the resulting xml, I find a script to be more explicit. Here's a page on scripting designspace files

      PenBallWizzard is finally available for RF3 since a few weeks ago. thanks @frederik for doing the hard part! if you have already installed with Mechanic2, please uninstall and install it again. it will not show an ‘update available’ message because the extension repository changed.

      🤦‍♂️I think I was just in the incorrect version of RoboFont Version 3.2b (built 1809041630). I thought I had already tried it in the latest stable release, but it's working perfectly in that one, now Version 3.2 (build 1901211134). Thanks for your time in helping me figure out these basic questions! It's been a joy to use today as I explored a new idea. Please keep up the good work!
