  mm, you can make a subclass of the EditTool and overwrite the modifyDraggingPoint(point, delta) method to ignore 45° and only look for 0° and 90° angles. But not pref settings (yet, will think about it)

  He This will also not work in robofab :) You can check if a glyphName is in the font: f = CurrentFont() gname = "test" if gname in f: print gname else: # f[gname] not in f print "%s not in %s" % (gname, f) good luck

  Hi Frederik, generating them with a script would be the option I'm after. Good to hear it's coming! F

  Well, in this case I don't need it (thought shouldn't it work?) I didn't find glyph.removeCountour() in robofab's documentation :[ Thanks!

  yeah, python and unicode :) In the next release RoboFont will check if an unicode value is bigger than 0x10000 (65536) to open a Space Center.

  With swap you move the current layer to an other layer. Flipping would also move the layer glyph to the source layer. The action menu in the layer inspector pane will be gone in the next version. but you can still use: g = CurrentGlyph() g.flipLayers("foreground", "background")

  Hi there, The groups created in RF are used as "reference groups" in MM, right? Why not directly as 'standard' groups usable for kerning?

  It true that scaling would result in floating coordinates. But I would rather see advantages in keeping the coordinates with floating numbers. If one has a set of transformations the result would be much better if floating numbers are used instead round the coordinates after each step. use glyph.round() Output will always round all coordinates.

  Which is the way to remove points from a script? segment.removePoint(ptindex) is not working (File "lib/fontObjects/robofabWrapper.pyc", line 1413, in removePoint NotImplementedError) Thanks for your help, --jca

  can you elaborate what you want to achieve with the special rotation behavior? you can build a custom tool and draw the selected points yourself: s = 5 ## / scale # in a tool you can get the scale value for x, y in CurrentGlyph().selection: oval(x-s, y-s, s*2, s*2)

  This seems to fix my problem, thanks so much! One more thing, what would be the name of the observer for if a glyph is modified?—so that I can update the preview as you make changes. Is there a list somewhere of all the built in observers? Cheers!

  Yo, Thank you for the hint. Although I did some visual overall scaling and shifting in FLS, using a script, once I've found the right settings in RoboFont, I'll manage to reimport all my images. Best
