  Hi there already an official DrawBot extension but it needs a RF beta. The next update is required to get DrawBot inside RoboFont working. TinyDrawBot will be deprecated and removed from the git repo. The extension will support everything DrawBot has, as it is really the same code :) But it has some benefits of using all the RoboFont functionality. thanks

  Hi I see, still with spaceCenterDraw it should be possible to get a long way :) but did you check https://github.com/typemytype/RoboFontExtensions/tree/master/LayerPreview ? maybe this is already doing what you are looking for.... good luck

  hello frederik, thanks for the reply. I know this works in other applications (all cocoa apps?) as well. But if I use it in Mail, Safari or TextEdit it always gives me an english WordList (which is my OS language). I cannot think of anyplace in my computer where I set the language to Dutch. That is why I had the idea that it might be possible to change it in RoboFont. Groeten, jo

  double posting :) ( https://twitter.com/robofonteditor/status/357071426911600640 ) you can add glyphs and draw a ligature see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/font-collection/adding-and-deleting-glyphs/ and use an OT "liga" feature to replace them see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/features/ good luck

  euhm, does the path where you generate the file to contains anything out of an ascii range? (first thing that pops up in my head) If not, you can send me the UFO file, if you can. thanks

  No really, it remove also the existing templateGlyphs. But: glyphOrder = [] for glyph in f.lib['public.glyphOrder']: glyphOrder.append(glyph) for glyph in myListOfGlyphs: glyphOrder.append(glyph) f.glyphOrder = glyphOrder Thanks Fredrik!
