  @tal This works, thank you so much! I just tried using the scripting API and the new metricsMachine.GetCurrentPair() works perfectly, thank you! I'm very excited about the scripting API, such a great addition to MetricsMachine.

  I downloaded from the email link again (accidentally skipping over your first recommendation), and ... it seems like maybe something is broken in the UI. It doesn't show anything for an interface: The output window contains this message: /Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/fs/base.py:74: DeprecationWarning: method 'getbytes' has been deprecated, please rename to 'readbytes' parts ['space', '0020', 'Zs'] parts ['exclam', '0021', 'Po'] parts ['quotedbl', '0022', 'Po'] parts ['numbersign', '0023', 'Po'] # a bunch of unicode entries are here parts ['scooter', '1F6F4', 'So'] parts ['motorScooter', '1F6F5', 'So'] parts ['canoe', '1F6F6', 'So'] parts ['sled', '1F6F7', 'So'] parts ['flyingSaucer', '1F6F8', 'So'] parts ['skateboard', '1F6F9', 'So'] /Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/defcon/objects/glyph.py:20: DeprecationWarning: addRepresentationFactory is deprecated.

However, if I then try to select the designspace which I was previously using in Skateboard (so I am fairly certain is valid), RoboFont then crashes. Just before I do select a file, this appears in the output window: I'm guessing maybe some kind of simple syntax error might be causing this.

  🤦‍♂️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!

  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.

  @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

  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).

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

  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.

  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!
