RoboFontError: Glyph not in font

joanca

I get an error now if a glyph is not in font, so it raises an Error intead of returning a boolean.

if f[gname] in f:
    print gname
else: #f[gname] not in f
    print "%s not in %s" %(gname, f)

How should I do it in RoboFont? It worked this way with robofab.
I just want to know if a glyph exists in a font.

thanks

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
