Metrics Machine Batch Export

[frankrolf]

@okaytype The kernFeatureWriter can automatically insert subtable breaks.

@connor said in Metrics Machine Batch Export:

generateAllKernFiles.py

That’s not a RF script, just run it on the command line.
Even easier is https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/python-modules :

kernFeatureWriter.py my_font.ufo

[frederik]

there are wild plans to have a small api available, where external tools can have access to the MetricsMachine logic and callback!

(don’t expect it anytime soon...)

Somewhat related:

Would it be possible, with MetricsMachine working inside of Robofont, to have the "insert subtable breaks" option from MM Batch Export available in Robofont's Generation Fonts?

Those subtables solve 90% of my overflow problems.

The Batch Export window is on my to do list. It'll be back. :)

[frederik]

is there any traceback? or anything in the log

see https://robofont.com/documentation/how-tos/submitting-bug-reports/

thanks

LOL - that script crashes Robofont for me.

@mr @jmickel I miss this feature as well

The generateAllKernFiles.py from Adobe seems to be a nice workaround in the meantime? It is not as user-friendly as the MM feature but yea:(

+1 request for Metrics Machine Batch Export

Very useful for larger families!

[frederik]

Those could be added, I guess. Where features are generated for a given set of ufo files.
