  Shoot, so... actually, those backslashes single quotes get re-added each time I save, close, and reopen the JSON preferences. So, basically, each time I edit JSON prefs and save, I get this same error, and have to re-fix it. I guess I’ll change the single quote strings to use the glyph name /quotesingle instead of the Unicode.

  @frederik I too have this issue of test installed fonts becoming unavailable after some time. The time they are available varies, sometimes they are gone quickly, other times they hold somewhat longer. Would you have any updates for that issue?

  Hi there! Had a thought to potentially improve the experience of maintaining the handle angle while command is held down: Situation: I command-drag handles to maintain handle angle. Bug: Angle inconsistent, and once I bring it back past the on-curve, it locks to 0-degrees, not the desired angle. Suggestion: Can the angle maintenance be improved? It looks like it’s constantly recalculating the angle as it moves. This causes it to change over time due to rounding errors. Of course, rounding will make it never perfect, but maybe the angle could be stored once on commandDown + mouseDown, so it doesn’t jump around so much and will always relate to the original intended angle. Angle changes over time, even though I haven’t let go of command. TIA, Ryan

  @frederik Hate to bring up Ill*strator, but I actually think it handles this pretty well (no pun intended).

  the order is important: py stops looking for packages if there is one found strange you can not acces those packages: could you send a screenshot of that folder? everything should be at root level, not in a sub folder inside external_packages

  Make sure you have the unicodes set, not only the glyph name. Or use uni<hex-4> or u<hex-5> see the GlyphOrderAliasDatabase spec: http://adobe-type-tools.github.io/afdko/MakeOTFUserGuide.html#glyphorderandaliasdb-goadb
