      There is also an update for DesignSpaceEditor, v1.9.2 available from Mechanic2.

      Ah it looks like I'm only able to get build 1906031450 from both links on this page. It looked like both the "download latest beta" button as well as the build 1906031450 both link to the same DMG. Is there somewhere else I can get my hands on 1909120913? Thanks again!

      Thanks for the breakdown, @colinmford! I suspected that to be the case, but it's helpful to have it confirmed. Very good point on the SSD. I haven't had a spinning-disk hard drive for awhile, but yes, I could see that really degrading performance for UFOs. Hmm, interesting hack on running multiple instances of RoboFont! On certain file-processing workflows, I might try to take advantage of that...

      @erik My friend created a Designspace file for me and I can edit it in DesignSpace Editor and working fine in Skateboard. I just cannot create a new file and define axes. Thank you.

      🤦‍♂️I think I was just in the incorrect version of RoboFont Version 3.2b (built 1809041630). I thought I had already tried it in the latest stable release, but it's working perfectly in that one, now Version 3.2 (build 1901211134). Thanks for your time in helping me figure out these basic questions! It's been a joy to use today as I explored a new idea. Please keep up the good work!

      @ThunderNixon I'm happy to hear you found the problem. Skateboard doesn't validate the XML (yet - maybe it should, I'll make a note). Please note the designspace file spec moved to the fonttools. You can find it fonttools/Doc/source/designspaceLib/ Personally I try to avoid writing the xml by hand (situation, preference and external factors permitting of course) and prefer to write small scripts using designspacelib or ufoprocessor. While the script might be just as verbose as the resulting xml, I find a script to be more explicit. Here's a page on scripting designspace files

      Here's a small script that guesses the weight value of UFOs and tries to make a designspace for them. Lots of dowsing and talking to spirits, but maybe useful for some projects. https://github.com/LettError/makeDesignSpace
