  then you dont need to call undo :) but you have to add undo items while editing. glyph = CurrentGlyph() # in RF 3.2 with glyph.undo("changed spacing"): glyph.leftMargin += 10 glyph.rightMargin += 10 this will 'record' the change, add an menu item. good luck!

  there is a big difference between being compatible for interpolation (aka fontMath) and for variable fonts. Variable fonts requires (out of my head): same amount of point both oncurves as offcurves same amount of kerning pairs same amount of kerning groups same amount of glyphs

  @tal said in Copying uppercase to lowercase (including kerning), and auto-add unicodes: Here's a little demo script that will copy kerning. Hmm, at least initially, when run, that causes an error: File "lib/fontObjects/doodleKerning.pyc", line 13, in _set_dirty mm4.MetricsMachineError: Glyph a is in more than one side 1 group. For now, I'll do some (partially) manual things in MetricsMachine to sort out kerning. I'll loop back with a suggested fix if I can loop back and figure something out!

  Hi @gferreira. I already gave it a try and it is working great for me! I'm going to work on a script that will automatically create a list of similar shapes so that I could import them into the extension. Thank you so so much again!

  @RafaŁ-Buchner you’re right :) better to use the boolean glyph method then.

  I see. Yes that appears to change the reference point for the transformation, but it still transforms all off-curves. With a script, do you mean creating a custom transform tool? It would be great if there were a preference that is point-type-agnostic transformation as well

  Ah ok, great. Good to know the command is still a modifier and not access to RSB as I had thought for some reason. Thanks, Frederik.

  the font.lib is also possible but then its hard to have the global undo manager focus. The current undo manager is connected to the current glyph. good luck!

  @d7yrr ok. as I suspected :) there’s an issue with the latest build in macOS Mojave; @frederik is looking into it. a warning for Mojave users has been added to the Downloads page. please try using one of the previous builds – that should fix the performance problems you are experiencing. thanks for reporting it. let us know if you still have any problems.
