I'm curious if anyone else has had randomly had problems with editing their glyphs, their default view setting upon opening, and layer errors? For about two weeks now, as I've been implementing Greek glyphs into a a previously drawn typeface, I've been getting an error when toggling between layers. It always allows me to keep working; however, throws an error callback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "lib/tools/misc.pyc", line 305, in wrapper File "lib/views/doodleLayers/glyphLayer.pyc", line 741, in setLayoutForObject_ File "lib/views/doodleLayers/glyphLayer.pyc", line 744, in setGlyph_ File "lib/views/doodleLayers/glyphLayer.pyc", line 754, in updateGlyph File "lib/views/doodleLayers/glyphLayer.pyc", line 512, in setGlyph_ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getRepresentation' Yesterday, however, something more extreme occurred and I can't work on any UFO files anymore!

fs.errors.FilesystemClosed: attempt to use closed filesystem Has anyone else experienced this and/or solved this? Since it happened on the one UFO file, it's now consistent with every UFO on my machine — a major issue for me, to say the least, as I'm supposed to deliver the Greek set before the end of the week. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If public.default is the name of a layer, but it is not set as the default layer, the UFO will not save, and pops up with "The document [file-name] could not be saved. The file isn’t in the correct format." Output window: Traceback (most recent call last): File "lib/doodleDocument.pyc", line 186, in writeSafelyToURL_ofType_forSaveOperation_error_ File "lib/fontObjects/doodleFont.pyc", line 224, in save File "/Applications/RoboFont_3-5b2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/defcon/objects/font.py", line 823, in save AssertionError Weird edge case, but took me a while to figure out when I ran into it. The UFO was a generated instance, and I had manually returned it to the foreground (default), background layer naming scheme, so it could work with some of my inelegant scripts.

@gferreira Thanks. What I did was the opposite. Just tell me if it's OK to do > I was looking for <string>foreground</string> in the lib.plist file, and changed the name to a different name. saved. and the new name replaced the duplicated foreground layer inside the layers in RB. then, I just deleted the layer with the new name. Is it good enough? Thank you.

For maximum flexibility each glyph has his own undo manager. You dont want to use a single undo manager for everything. I understand in this case a single cmd-Z should perform actions in multiple glyphs. A while ago Ive made dirty hack... let me see if I can clean it up.

@gferreira I think those were the clues I needed—thanks!

he Nowell, Could you explain why glyph.newLayer(..) is not working for you? see the fontParts documentation. Is there a traceback? This should work... In RoboFont each glyph has his own undo manager and its always possible to add an other glyph undo item to a different undo manager, but requires some deep hacking. I dont think the solution is there... This behaviour was indeed different in RF1 as layers where stored in the glyph.lib, this was a tiny hack on the UFO specification. UFO3 has own implementation of layers. From a UX perspective this is not a good plan to have undos on different data (glyphs) sets at once. Hope this makes sense...

Hi, Just checking in on this thread to note for posterity that "all" works again when setting the Display Option: f = CurrentFont() for layer in f.layers: layer.setDisplayOption("all", False) I'm on Beta Version 3.3b (build 1910021654)

This post was helpful to me – thanks @RafaŁ-Buchner and @frederik! It took me a bit to get everything working, so I thought I'd post my updates here for the next person who needs it. # a script to find glyphs with unicode names and give them human-readable names # started from https://forum.robofont.com/topic/624/renaming-the-glyph-problem/6 from glyphNameFormatter.reader import u2n, n2u, u2U from vanilla.dialogs import * import pprint def updateGlyphName(f): f.features.text = feaText def getNameFromUnicode(g): name = u2n(g.unicode) return name def getReadableNames(font): renamingDict = {} for glyph in font: old_name = glyph.name if "uni" in old_name: # and "." not in old_name: new_name = getNameFromUnicode(glyph) if new_name is None: continue else: if new_name not in renamingDict.keys(): if new_name != old_name: renamingDict[old_name] = new_name for glyph2 in font: if glyph2.name.split(".")[0] == old_name: old_name2 = glyph2.name new_name2 = glyph2.name.replace(old_name, new_name) if new_name2 not in renamingDict.keys(): if new_name2 != old_name2: renamingDict[old_name2] = new_name2 pprint.pprint(renamingDict) renamingDictKeys = list(renamingDict.keys()) for old in reversed(renamingDictKeys): if old in font.keys(): glyph = font[old] if len(glyph.contours) != 0: font.renameGlyph(old, renamingDict[old]) print("\t", old, "→", renamingDict[old]) for glyph2 in font: for comp in glyph2.components: if comp.baseGlyph == old: comp.baseGlyph = renamingDict[old] renamingDictKeys.remove(old) for old in reversed(renamingDictKeys): glyph = font[old] if len(glyph.contours) == 0: font.renameGlyph(old, renamingDict[old]) print("\t", old, "→", renamingDict[old]) for glyph2 in font: for comp in glyph2.components: if comp.baseGlyph == old: comp.baseGlyph = renamingDict[old] # allows you to select one or multiple UFOs inputFonts = getFile( "select UFOs", allowsMultipleSelection=True, fileTypes=["ufo"]) for fontPath in inputFonts: # set showInterface to True if you wish to see the font window f = OpenFont(fontPath, showInterface=False) print("----------------------------------\n") print("----------------------------------\n") print(f.path, "\n") print("----------------------------------\n") getReadableNames(f) # comment these out to test run f.save() f.close()

@gferreira said in Glyph Labels Not Copying?: f.insertGlyph(g, name='b') Ah wonderful. This worked great. Thank you!

Hey Gustavo, Thanks for that, works great. D

I’ve adjusted this to go through the currently-selection glyphs only, and to clear the non-foreground layer before copying to it. from mojo.UI import AskString f = CurrentFont() newLayer = AskString('Layer to copy all existing glyphs to, e.g. "overlap"') for glyphName in f.selection: glyph = f[glyphName] glyph.getLayer(newLayer).clear() # if you wish to clear the non-foreground layer glyph.layers[0].copyLayerToLayer("foreground", newLayer) glyph.getLayer(newLayer).leftMargin = glyph.layers[0].leftMargin glyph.getLayer(newLayer).rightMargin = glyph.layers[0].rightMargin

Thanks so much Frederik! That's exactly what I was missing!

Brilliant, it works now! You have my thanks! Filip.

Okay. I think I do understand. So thank you for pointing out and thanks in [hopefully not indefinite] advance for doing that UFO3 implementation :D

Hi Martin swap will copy the glyph to the destination layer and clear the current layer flip will copy the glyph to the destination and copy from the destination layer back to the current layer as you already found out, thanks Jo

Hi Jo good catch, will be solved in the next update...

thanks! and nice to learn that reversed() is more elegant and faster than [::-1]! bedankt, j

Thanks for your reply.

Hi no that is not intended :) a bug in pasting glyph objects with all layer content thanks for reporting, will be solved in the next update

Hi I see, still with spaceCenterDraw it should be possible to get a long way :) but did you check https://github.com/typemytype/RoboFontExtensions/tree/master/LayerPreview ? maybe this is already doing what you are looking for.... good luck
