  Global guidelines are nested in font objects, and local guidelines are in glyph objects. Aha! That makes so much sense, yet I never thought about it. Thanks @Ryan :) I quickly wrote a script that adds local guidelines with specific coordinates for a list of glyphs. That way I can define the overshoots for /O and /o (that's usually two of the characters I draw in the ideation stage already) and put those values in the code that then adds the guidelines to the list of glyphs I defined and where I need them. It’s not a very "programming" way of doing things, but it gets the job done and it’s pretty straight forward without having to many places I can make mistakes :) I was even thinking about making it a small tool or something inside the inspector where one can store the values for UC & lc and on click remove or add local guidelines. Who knows, maybe I can make Tals tool work for me, then I don't need to do anything by myself :)

  oh this is hard :) You are missing image data which is stored in the memory only. f = CurrentFont().asDefcon() g = CurrentGlyph().asDefcon() # a font object has a centralised images object collecting all image data. print(g.image.fileName in f.images) # if the fileName has no data, the image doesnt exist in memory and on disk

  Old topic but still, I had the issue too. So here is the solution : MM provide a subtable option for writing kerning into fonts. This disable the overflow issue when generating fonts.
