Features update

thom

Hi,

I’m trying to build a script for my features.
I open (or make) the features.fea file and write stuff into the file.
The problem is: it’s not updated in the features UI.
f.update() doesn’t to the trick.

Who can help?

Thanks!

my sketch:

f = CurrentFont()
g = CurrentGlyph()

path = f._get_path() + "/features.fea"

fea = open(path, "w")

liga = "feature liga { \n"
for g in f:
    if g.name == 'fi':
        liga+= "    sub f i by fi;\n"
    if g.name == 'ffi':
        liga+= "    sub f f i by ffi;\n"
    if g.name == 'fl':
        liga+= "    sub f l by fl;\n"    
liga += "} liga;\n\n"

fea.write(liga)

fea.close()

Yes, this is easier and does exactly what I want!

Thanks Frederik!

mm, why would you rewrite the source file?
RoboFont will see this change only when you jumped to an other application and back to RoboFont.

But I strongly encourage you not to do it like this :)

f = CurrentFont()

## get the fea text
feaText = f.features.text

for i in range(100):
    feaText += "# halleluja\n"

f.features.text = feaText

ps: also strongly advised: never ever use private callback, private callbacks are callbacks starting with an _ (underscore) those allows developers to change underlaying API stuff with bothering the top level API.

so:

f = CurrentFont()
print f.path

thanks
