SOLVED Metrics Machine Batch Export
-
The Batch Export feature from Metrics Machine isn't in the new extension version. Can that feature be added back?
-
I noticed Batch Export has been added to Metrics Machine. Thank you! I think I've used it a dozen times in the past week and every time I use it I am so happy.
-
Awesome!
-
Cool!!!
The fea code could be generated while compling a binary font!!
-
Coming in version 1.1.0:
from metricsMachine import MetricsMachineFont font = MetricsMachineFont(font) text = font.kerning.compileFeatureText(insertSubtableBreaks=True) font.kerning.exportFeatureText(aPath, insertSubtableBreaks=True) font.kerning.insertFeatureText(insertSubtableBreaks=True)
-
@okaytype The kernFeatureWriter can automatically insert subtable breaks.
-
@connor said in Metrics Machine Batch Export:
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
-
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. :)
-
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!
-
Those could be added, I guess. Where features are generated for a given set of ufo files.
