  I ran into an issue where the new 3.5 beta would crash on open (as above). I tracked it down to having used vanilla through the external_packages folder. Removing it allowed RF to open normally. I expect RF3.5 includes the newest version of vanilla that supersedes the prior version I had in external_packages.

  Okay, I think that fixes it! I will probably evolve this a bit further, but here is the code now: https://gist.github.com/arrowtype/a3c4445cd6b9a6174f885eccff38e1c9 (Caveat: Not sure whether it would work for UFOZ)

  UNSOLVED UFO won't save if public.default is present and not default

  If public.default is the name of a layer, but it is not set as the default layer, the UFO will not save, and pops up with "The document [file-name] could not be saved. The file isn’t in the correct format." Output window: Traceback (most recent call last): File "lib/doodleDocument.pyc", line 186, in writeSafelyToURL_ofType_forSaveOperation_error_ File "lib/fontObjects/doodleFont.pyc", line 224, in save File "/Applications/RoboFont_3-5b2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/defcon/objects/font.py", line 823, in save AssertionError Weird edge case, but took me a while to figure out when I ran into it. The UFO was a generated instance, and I had manually returned it to the foreground (default), background layer naming scheme, so it could work with some of my inelegant scripts.

  Noted down and added to the MetricsMachine todo list. The skippeing-glyphs lib key and Metrics Machine originated years apart of each other :)

  @frederik Frederik, this is all brilliant!! Thanks so much for digging into it. Importing the multiprocessing code is indeed the trick; the demos work now perfectly. And I can't wait to try out the new async stuff in the next releases! Thanks!!

  Thanks @frederik for this advice. You are right, I have tried to re-use old scripts with RF 3 but without success (I am not very good at that)... I will try to start RF in safe mode and keep you in touch if it solves the problem. Best

  Thank you Frederik, your script help me find the culprits easily. After fixing those 3 glyphs in the master, the interpolated instances generate successfully. Solved!

  hello @jansindl3r, the current guideline is only available from an interactive tool. here’s an example: (shift-click guide to flip direction) from mojo.events import EditingTool, installTool class FlipGuideTool(EditingTool): def getToolbarTip(self): return "flip guide" def mouseDown(self, point, clickCount): g = CurrentGlyph() guides = CurrentGuidelines() if guides and self.shiftDown: guides[0].angle += 90 installTool(FlipGuideTool()) cheers!

  @gferreira Thanks. What I did was the opposite. Just tell me if it's OK to do > I was looking for <string>foreground</string> in the lib.plist file, and changed the name to a different name. saved. and the new name replaced the duplicated foreground layer inside the layers in RB. then, I just deleted the layer with the new name. Is it good enough? Thank you.
