  @ThunderNixon said in Can I open the Output Window from a script? What about from a remote script? (I'm so close!): from mojo.UI import OutputWindow I'm nearly positive that I tried that, and it didn't work, so I threw in the open() to see whether it made a difference. The good news is, it's working now, so either I hit a temporary bug, or I formulated a false memory in my head. If OutputWindow().show() fails in the future, I'll loop back on this. Thank you!

  Thanks for weighing in! Just to be clear, I'm not necessarily expecting things to stay magically compatible – I only am looking for a way to remove overlaps, but leave any points intact that are on the exterior of that combined shape. I think you understood my meaning already, but my initial image was pretty ambiguous, so this shows my general hope better: So, it sounds like the way the Remove Overlap functionality works, it's not that these points are removed as an extra step, but rather that their removal is a core part of the function? And there's no way to "turn that off"? As a simple temporary solution, I have found that I can at least have a visual of missing points by duplicating the glyph to an "overlap" layer, then turning that layer's visibility on. You could run a pre-overlap code getting points that are going to be removed... and add them back in a post-overlap script Is there some kind of accessible list of points to be removed (that doesn't seem very likely), or would I have to find a way to loop through points, and mathematically determine if they're on a straight path?

  hi @jhera, there are multiple ways to build accented glyphs in RoboFont. these are described here: Building accented glyphs have you tried using the Glyph Construction extension? in 2019 you don’t really need anchors to position diacritics anymore :) you can still use them (with or without underscore), but you can also use guidelines, variables, vertical metrics attributes, reference positions, etc. have a look at the docs & give it a try!

  hi Rafał, I’ve been there too :) you can wrap an RGlyph around a defcon glyph, like this: for glyphWindow in AllGlyphWindows(): # get RGlyph from defcon glyph g = RGlyph(glyphWindow.getGlyph()) # do stuff using the FontParts API print(g[0].points) succes!

  yes, to get the closing font use fontWillClose – which is called before closing the font. (fontDidClose does not return a font because the font has just been closed :)
