@ArrowType Feel free to check out my extension Slinky on Mechanic!

Hi Josh, this forum is almost abandoned, I would like to invite you to the open discord group for all your RoboFont related questions! --> https://discord.gg/M8RySPYE

If you need to work with JPG images, you could consider converting them to PNG format before adding them through the script. And hey, if you ever need to optimize those JPG files for better performance or smaller sizes, check out jpg compress tools. They can help maintain image quality while reducing file sizes effectively.

Conversation moved to RF discord. Marked as solved.

@frederik Thank you! I will take a look.

Thanks Arnaud! To add to this, I had some difficulty finding where in MM to actually do this, so... I found the option under "Batch Export" in the MM menu. I simply exported it into the font (features), and now makeOTF works to generate fonts directly!

@frederik OK. Thank you.

Thank you!

oh this is hard :) You are missing image data which is stored in the memory only. f = CurrentFont().asDefcon() g = CurrentGlyph().asDefcon() # a font object has a centralised images object collecting all image data. print(g.image.fileName in f.images) # if the fileName has no data, the image doesnt exist in memory and on disk

Global guidelines are nested in font objects, and local guidelines are in glyph objects. Aha! That makes so much sense, yet I never thought about it. Thanks @Ryan :) I quickly wrote a script that adds local guidelines with specific coordinates for a list of glyphs. That way I can define the overshoots for /O and /o (that's usually two of the characters I draw in the ideation stage already) and put those values in the code that then adds the guidelines to the list of glyphs I defined and where I need them. It’s not a very "programming" way of doing things, but it gets the job done and it’s pretty straight forward without having to many places I can make mistakes :) I was even thinking about making it a small tool or something inside the inspector where one can store the values for UC & lc and on click remove or add local guidelines. Who knows, maybe I can make Tals tool work for me, then I don't need to do anything by myself :)

Should be fixed here https://github.com/robotools/ufo2fdk/commit/99a01d340de3ef3c3d86708c45afebd682daab00 and present in the upcoming beta thanks!

Thank you @frederik @Martin

Excellent, thank you for the answers!

hi @paulinefourest, we did not change the undo behaviour, if you keep having this issue, please let us have a few more details on your setup. 👋

hey @MARYB here you can find a detailed tutorial 👋

As a belated update, I found that the script above didn’t handle Template Glyphs well. It would remove all template glyphs from the font. This current version of the script handles template glyphs: https://gist.github.com/arrowtype/9ef6ce07233af2d80bc0bfb4290d642c

the curve disappearing is solved in the upcoming beta and release thanks!!

He Pepijn! Test installed fonts are not saved to disk. They are accessible by family/style name for your user everywhere on your system.
