hello @horashann, yes, this can be done with a simple script: # get source and destination fonts srcFont = AllFonts().getFontsByFamilyName('MyFontFamily').getFontsByStyleName('Regular')[0] dstFont = AllFonts().getFontsByFamilyName('MyFontFamily').getFontsByStyleName('Italic')[0] # iterate over selected glyphs in the source font for glyphName in srcFont.selectedGlyphNames: # get the source glyph srcGlyph = srcFont[glyphName] # if the glyph doesn't have any anchors, skip it if not len(srcGlyph.anchors): continue # get the destination glyph dstGlyph = dstFont[glyphName] # iterate over all anchors in the source glyph for anchor in srcGlyph.anchors: # copy anchor to destination glyph dstGlyph.appendAnchor(anchor.name, (anchor.x, anchor.y)) # done! make sure to replace MyFontFamily and Regular / Italic with the family name and style names of your fonts. cheers!

@gferreira @frederik Update on this, relevant issue I ran into. Video may explain well why current alignment guide might be misleading. Version 3.4b

Thank you very much ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This is fixed in the dev beta. A fresh public beta will appear shortly thanks

there is Glyph.selection.Changed notification small example also don't forget to remove the observer when your are done... class SelectionObsever(object): def __init__(self): self.g = CurrentGlyph() self.g.addObserver(self, "selectionChanged", "Glyph.selectionChanged") def selectionChanged(self, notification): glyph = notification.object for anchor in glyph.anchors: print anchor.selected SelectionObsever()

Thanks!

hi @jhera, there are multiple ways to build accented glyphs in RoboFont. these are described here: Building accented glyphs have you tried using the Glyph Construction extension? in 2019 you don’t really need anchors to position diacritics anymore :) you can still use them (with or without underscore), but you can also use guidelines, variables, vertical metrics attributes, reference positions, etc. have a look at the docs & give it a try!

Jo, thanks for the script which I'll use in the meantime. Frederik, thank you for listening and offering a built-in solution.

Would be handy if 'Anchors' become always visible after an anchor has been added. Currently 'Anchors' remain invisible once they are.
