Thank you @gferreira! I was calling showInterface as a property of the font itself which obviously didn't get me very far!

don't know the context but you can also use the MathGlyphPen from fontMath to convert all line segments to curve segments

Hi @frederik It just never ends, no tracebacks. If I don’t manage to solve it with @gferreira tip I will try to prepare a dummy ufo and post it here. Thank you both!

hello @jansindl3r, the current guideline is only available from an interactive tool. here’s an example: (shift-click guide to flip direction) from mojo.events import EditingTool, installTool class FlipGuideTool(EditingTool): def getToolbarTip(self): return "flip guide" def mouseDown(self, point, clickCount): g = CurrentGlyph() guides = CurrentGuidelines() if guides and self.shiftDown: guides[0].angle += 90 installTool(FlipGuideTool()) cheers!

component.position will be removed in future version, as it was a bug :)

@gferreira I see, thanks!!!

Thanks, @frederik!

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.

This should be solved in the upcoming release, and already works fine in the cutting-edge-nightly-build version...

@frederik Yeah that is very powerful. I have another related question. let's say I want my custom method to be executed every time an object changes. I don't want to add a defcon notification but rather override a method and use the super on an internal method of glyph object, then execute my own method. I looked at defcon but it seemed that it's only possible by overriding _set_dirty, but not sure if that's the right way. What do you think?

@gferreira said in Preserve empty glyphs when applying defcon sort order through script: newGlyphOrder = f.naked().unicodeData.sortGlyphNames(f.templateGlyphOrder, sortDescriptors=[dict(type="cannedDesign", ascending=True, allowPseudoUnicode=True)]) f.templateGlyphOrder = newGlyphOrder Oh, interesting! Sure enough, changing glyphOrder to templateGlyphOrder fixed my script. It now works just as hoped. :) Thanks so much for point out that difference to me!

Thanks @gferreira and @juergensupertype! Fixed, new version committed. Update via Mechanic2.

hi Rafał, I’ve been there too :) you can wrap an RGlyph around a defcon glyph, like this: for glyphWindow in AllGlyphWindows(): # get RGlyph from defcon glyph g = RGlyph(glyphWindow.getGlyph()) # do stuff using the FontParts API print(g[0].points) succes!

Ah cool. Thank you!

Really substantive answer, @gferreira! Thanks!

To all developers working with UFO-tools, here’s an important announcement: The RoboFab Developers organisation on GitHub has been retired, and a new organisation has been created in its place: RoboTools! From now on, RoboTools is the new home of FontParts, FontPens, and several other libraries originating from Type Supply. The main goal behind this change is to have more people involved in maintaining these libraries and providing support to users. Here’s the full list of libraries which are now under the RoboTools umbrella: compositor defcon defconAppKit extractor fontMath fontParts fontPens roboFab ufo2fdk vanilla Big thanks to Just van Rossum and Ben Kiel for setting everything up. Happy coding! here’s the original announcement by Just van Rossum on Twitter

Thanks!!!!

@frederik sorry, didn't realize it's new to FontParts too. I'll give 3.2b a try.

thanks for your example!!
