Well I was to quick pushing a new version of the Outliner. The developers and beta version of RoboFont has a warning for a typo in the API. Which is solved in the Outliner, but you don't have the dev or beta version :) thanks and good luck!

There is no difference between just executing a script or an extension. In some cases an extension is easier when the tool or added functionality gets bigger (with embedded modules) and when there are assets (like icons). Extensions have a info.plist which is handy to share, check versions and fe Mechanic is using that to download the correct packages from github... Otherwise you can also set start up scripts in the prefs. Those gets executed during start up. good luck!

As always, thanks a lot for your fast reply and taking this under consideration. jo

This is a know issue, this is already solved in the beta and will be pushed into the next update...

will make it available through the ExtensionBundle so you could install extensions with showMessages disabled. Installing a bundle will return a succes bool and an info message.

Perfect!

Haha, not the answer I was expecting. Next time I'll come up with more outlandish things to do. Sorry about missing the mogo.extensions thing. I guess I need to sit down with the docs and read everything over again to make sure I don't ask any more dumb questions. Getting the list of extensions should work well for what I'm working on now, but one of those other methods will be handy down the line. Really looking forward to custom events. :D

If a tool is activated from the scripting window and not as an extension the easiest thing todo is to restart :)

solved thanks: the kerning object was ending up in an infinite loop checking while looking for attributes, keys and values.

text drawing is using a point as a tuple instead of x, y separately, this is done to keep point values consisted through out drawing tools fixed: https://github.com/typemytype/RoboFontExamples/commit/8f2e6020f27828d8b65264a50327fa43880cbd90 thanks for testing them out!

This seems to fix my problem, thanks so much! One more thing, what would be the name of the observer for if a glyph is modified?—so that I can update the preview as you make changes. Is there a list somewhere of all the built in observers? Cheers!

hi frederik, thanks again for this and all the other replies! I did some minor changes (like printing a better report in the output window). The latest version can be found here: http://langustefonts.com/dwld/Componitor1.3.1.zip thanks, jo

if you have assets (almost everything which isn't a python file) store them into a resource folder and connect it in the extension bundle. see http://doc.robofont.com/extensions/extension-file-spec/ to retrieve assets see http://doc.robofont.com/api/mojo/mojo-extensions/ good luck

That is correct. For hot keys to scripts in an extension it's up to the developer of the extension to assign hot keys.
