  The guideline.identifier issue on undo/cut/paste is a different problem :(. Something that is using subscriber is doing something wrong. Im looking at your Eyeliner extension and aside from the scale vs merz symbols, I would not change that much. My biggest guess is that you have multiple versions of your subscriber instances open, those are receiving a callback on Glyph.Changed but the internal dict has already changed or cleaned up. While developing its recommended to set the debug flag to True in your class.

  I'm curious if anyone else has had randomly had problems with editing their glyphs, their default view setting upon opening, and layer errors? For about two weeks now, as I've been implementing Greek glyphs into a a previously drawn typeface, I've been getting an error when toggling between layers. It always allows me to keep working; however, throws an error callback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "lib/tools/misc.pyc", line 305, in wrapper File "lib/views/doodleLayers/glyphLayer.pyc", line 741, in setLayoutForObject_ File "lib/views/doodleLayers/glyphLayer.pyc", line 744, in setGlyph_ File "lib/views/doodleLayers/glyphLayer.pyc", line 754, in updateGlyph File "lib/views/doodleLayers/glyphLayer.pyc", line 512, in setGlyph_ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getRepresentation' Yesterday, however, something more extreme occurred and I can't work on any UFO files anymore! When I open a glyph the editing window is white (screenshot below), and I get this callback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "lib/tools/misc.pyc", line 305, in wrapper File "lib/views/doodleLayerGlyphView.pyc", line 1881, in setGlyphRecords_ File "lib/views/doodleLayers/drawingBoardLayer.pyc", line 35, in activateEditor_ File "lib/views/doodleLayers/glyphLayer.pyc", line

fs.errors.FilesystemClosed: attempt to use closed filesystem Has anyone else experienced this and/or solved this? Since it happened on the one UFO file, it's now consistent with every UFO on my machine — a major issue for me, to say the least, as I'm supposed to deliver the Greek set before the end of the week. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  This does not delete the wrongly named glyph, just in case you store your best drawing there... """ Uncomment what you need: read from file and save or get the current font Best would be to read and fix the .ufo directly """ import defcon # f = defcon.Font("path/to/font.ufo") f = CurrentFont().asDefcon() if "" in f.keys(): f[""].name = "has_a_weird_empty_name_please_change_it" # f.save() good luck

  OK, you favor GNFUL (this is already an improvement, as for example dotbelowcmb exists in https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/agl-aglfn/blob/master/glyphlist.txt and thus will be correctly parsed by Adobe apps like Adobe Acrobat). For the Greek, I agree with you: U+00B5, U+2126, U+2206 aren't Greek letters, they're symbols derived from Greek letters and therefore shouldn't receive the same names (and therefore not mu, Omega and Delta). But since we're more or less in agreement, why every time I see this very questionable choice of glyph names (dotbelow, commaaccent, mu, Omega, Delta, and hookabove too), the foundry always responds to me: "we created our fonts with RoboFont"? They're using an old version, with an old version of GNFUL, I have to tell them to update?

  When the preview key is pressed + alt the left/right arrows keys will jump to the next glyph, and up/down will loop through all the layers. This seems to be undocumented...

  Ran into this recently and wanted to add that I required a '.notdef' glyph, additionally, in order to export correctly as a ttf.
