Thanks for the background, and for giving it some thought! Will let you know if any ideas come to my mind as well.

@frederik Thanks!

improved alignment guides are available in the latest beta — thanks!

imagine!!! this still works ;)

hello @bahman, have a look at ContoursLock, it allows you to lock individual contours by index. salutations!

Awesome thanks @frederik! And will check that out, thanks.

@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 ͡°)

Really substantive answer, @gferreira! Thanks!

Amazing! Thanks @gferreira

hi I was wondering if there is a way to join two (open) contours with a script. E.g. join last point of contour A with first point of contour B. If I select these points in the glyph-view and click on "Close/Join Open Contours" this works. Is there also a scripting-based way to do that? thanks, jo

good you found it! "printing" a traceback is very costly, but handy so you know what went wrong

Just tested it, no need for luck with your scripts ;-) Thanks!

hi frederik, that is a great help. segments obviously come along with some points. thanks a lot! jo

And to reply to your first questions (different rounding behavior for off curves) : This is maybe useful when the offcurves aren't extreme points and the bcp length is rather small (1-2 units). In all other cases, where the points are placed at extreme points this is not really an issue.

I agree with you guys. My way of drawing involve a lot of "add extreme points + cleanup" method, and it is… painful to work like this in RF. Just a suggestion: on removing a point, maybe the opposite handle should be kept as is, at least? If recalculation of curve is hard, I don't see a reason why both handlelength should be affected. Am I clear? (and yes, FLS' "optimize" algorithm performs well)

Which is the way to remove points from a script? segment.removePoint(ptindex) is not working (File "lib/fontObjects/robofabWrapper.pyc", line 1413, in removePoint NotImplementedError) Thanks for your help, --jca

see the transform pane in the inspector window http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/inspector/ thanks

yeah, help is great, didn't know it was available. This will be added in the next version. thanks ps: a small workaround: from defconAppKit.windows.progressWindow import ProgressWindow import pydoc ## this is actually happening in the built-in 'help' pydoc.help(ProgressWindow.update)

when will the next version be released? Robothon?
