  will make it available through the ExtensionBundle so you could install extensions with showMessages disabled. Installing a bundle will return a succes bool and an info message.

  can you use the defconAppKit progressWindow? see http://code.typesupply.com/browser/packages/defconAppKit/trunk/Lib/defconAppKit/windows/progressWindow.py Cocoa is build up rather smart so it checks when a view is been updated frequently before redrawing it on screen. Although you can force a redraw: self.w.text.getNSTextField().display() after setting a string into the TextBox

  Seconds screens is always a mess with full screens. You could open a new Space Center in single window mode: from mojo.UI import OpenSpaceCenter font = CurrentFont() if font: OpenSpaceCenter(font) good luck!

  Somehow I can't set the preferences to use "keyboard shortcuts to python script" work. What's the right procedure?

  Haha, not the answer I was expecting. Next time I'll come up with more outlandish things to do. Sorry about missing the mogo.extensions thing. I guess I need to sit down with the docs and read everything over again to make sure I don't ask any more dumb questions. Getting the list of extensions should work well for what I'm working on now, but one of those other methods will be handy down the line. Really looking forward to custom events. :D

  Ah thank. It works alright. With print I found that in the features there was something not okay: empty group [] new question: is there already a super handy script which remove glyphnames -that not appear in the ufo- from the featuresfile?

  not by default :) but you could make a script that checks/monitors a .enc file, parse the glyph names and add it to the user defaults.... (I know this doesn't help you much)

  euh? an AccordionView only takes a vanilla like object, best is to subclass a vanilla.Group and add UI elements in there. good luck (a working version attached)

  he I've updated the example: http://doc.robofont.com/api/mojo/mojo-ui/ from mojo.UI import AccordionView from vanilla import * class MyInspector: def __init__(self): self.w = FloatingWindow((200, 600)) self.firstItem = TextEditor((10, 10, -10, -10)) self.secondItem = List((0, 0, -0, -0), ["a", "b", "c"]) self.thirdItem = Tabs((10, 10, -10, -10), ["1", "2", "3"]) self.fourthItem = Group((0, 0, -0, -0)) self.fourthItem.checkBox = CheckBox((10, 10, 100, 22), "CheckBox") self.fourthItem.editText = EditText((10, 40, -10, 22)) descriptions = [ dict(label="first item", view=self.firstItem, size=200, collapsed=False, canResize=False), dict(label="second item", view=self.secondItem, minSize=100, size=140, collapsed=True, canResize=True), dict(label="third item", view=self.thirdItem, minSize=100, size=140, collapsed=True, canResize=False), dict(label="fourth item", view=self.fourthItem, size=140, collapsed=False, canResize=False) ] self.w.accordionView = AccordionView((0, 0, -0, -0), descriptions) self.w.open() MyInspector() good luck

  The mark color is saved in the lib and is actually changing the font data, so it makes sense that the save state of the document will update. There are some options: set the change count of the document to zero after changing the font data, just be careful with data loss, of unsaved fonts from AppKit import NSChangeCleared font = CurrentFont() for glyphName in font.selection + font.templateSelection: glyph = font[glyphName] glyph.mark = (1, 0, 0, 1) document = font.document() if document: # set the document change count to zero document.updateChangeCount_(NSChangeCleared) Adding an L or N (for glyph.note) is a bit more difficult cause you have to overwrite the defcon representation factory generating the glyph cell. Adding smart sets is probably the easiest. But I guess your proposed solutions are not the best options for the problem... however, good luck!

  The kerning keys can be either glyph names or group names. If they are group names (starting with an @) you can edit them in with the groups objects f = CurrentFont() f.groups["@MMK_L_f"] Its possible that this group isn't not in your groups but already hard coded into the features. (normally MM is adding those kerning groups also as font.groups items) note: RoboFont does not automatically convert font.groups to feature groups. Use this extension for converting and adding groups to the feature file: http://github.com/typemytype/RoboFontExtensions/tree/master/groups2Features good luck

  RoboFont gets a notification for the OS if something changed, so it's pretty fast

  If a tool is activated from the scripting window and not as an extension the easiest thing todo is to restart :)

  I recommend reading the feature file syntax see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/afdko/topic_feature_file_syntax.html Both are warnings your font will work, but both are also easy to fix. I think the FDK warning message is very helpful. good luck!

  that is easy too :) from mojo.events import addObserver class RenameGroupsObserver(object): def __init__(self): addObserver(self, "checkGroupNames", "fontDidOpen") def checkGroupNames(self, info): print "checking group names for single quotes" font = info["font"] for groupName, items in font.groups.items(): newItems = [] for glyphName in items: if "'" in glyphName: glyphName = glyphName.replace("'", "") newItems.append(glyphName) if newItems != items: ## something changed font.groups[groupName] = newItems print "done checking group names" RenameGroupsObserver() save this script in a file and add it in the preferences as a start up script and you never ever have to worry about single quotes in groups. see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/preferences/extensions/ Your font data will change and importing the UFO back in FL will change the groups behavior, off course good luck
