  I tried to ignore the contents.plist for commits, but that resulted in a lot of RF crashes (in hindsight actually expected behaviour since in future pulls there is just no contents.plist and the UFO’s are corrupted). The .glif files however inside the UFO don't produce merge conflicts. So I’m now just resolving merge conflicts by just accepting one version (doesn't matter which one) and then rebuild the contents.plist with your script. So, thanks again!

  should be fixed here: https://github.com/typemytype/GlyphConstruction/commit/01c7c9362561822a68073305c69c9fbc054ddf13 Getting kerning is advised to use font.kerning.get(pair) where it does not fail. This is similar to a normal dict. Or you can also check first if pair in font.kerning: ... thanks!

  @frederik said in how to add custom button to the SpaceCenter's display menu ?: for now this is not possible... Space center menus are on the restructuring table. To split up into a menu for display options and a menu for typographic options. I can imagine adding a similar notification like in a glyph window or font overview So I imagine that it is also not possible for the right-click menu in SpaceCenter? this button, on top of the SC, for now, should be enough. Thanks!

  Oh my, I really did overthink the issue — reorganizing my functions just a little and adding the self.updateFont(None) solved it!! Thanks for the help, Gustavo!

  Its indeed similar to a pen. This allows easy subclassing of internal tools by simply adding behaviour to a tool. This tool is subclassing _mouseDragged as it needs the same behaviour but with the shift constrain disabled, as this tool will perform his own shift behaviour.

  a pull request to https://github.com/Typefounding/copyGlyphs is made FYI: the bug was that keys of a dictionary are not a list anymore... so they cannot be sorted see https://github.com/Typefounding/copyGlyphs/pull/3

  maybe you have to explain what you want to achieve... A space center object has getRaw which returns the input text as seen in the control and get which returns a list of glyph names, those are parsed from the input controls.

  its been described here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/features_ko#lfbd You can use pos in an feature to position a character or a pair (like kerning) or even contextual move characters around.

  similar as to vanilla SplitViews an AccordionView will get: anAccordionView.isPaneVisible(label) anAccordionView.showPane(label, animate=True) anAccordionView.togglePane(label, animate=True)

  That is True! for now the inspector is made for inspecting single glyphs. An extension can add a inspector pan with this behaviour!

  For maximum flexibility each glyph has his own undo manager. You dont want to use a single undo manager for everything. I understand in this case a single cmd-Z should perform actions in multiple glyphs. A while ago Ive made dirty hack... let me see if I can clean it up.

  @JustJoeDesign That said, it’s not impossible to use UFO2 files + makeotf on Catalina. install the AFDKO command line tools via pip https://pypi.org/project/afdko/ build your OTF file using makeotf -f my_font.ufo The only hard requirement is that the UFO has a PostScript name. (Font → Font Info → PostScript → FontName)
