noted down for future RF version to auto deselect on removeContour :) thanks!

@tallpauley Thanks for the update to run the command! This gives me something to play around with. To take it a step further, is there a lib API I can use to also pull in space center and glyph view shortcuts, like whatever they use to populate their "Hot Keys" tabs? (Btw, I won't filter out commands that don't have shortcut keys, this is part of the allure of having a command palette, you can access commands that don't have shortcuts keys defined yet). I saw mojo.UI.setGlyphViewDisplaySettings, but this isn't all the available commands for glyph view. For space center I didn't see any API in mojo.UI I would dig around myself, but I think you guys compile to .pyc and I don't want to violate the EULA by reverse engineering (hence me actually clicking on the EULA lol). Once I have all the commands available, I think I should have what I need.

@gferreira I was able to get it to work once I downloaded additional module files. thanks!

hello @horashann, yes, this can be done with a simple script: # get source and destination fonts srcFont = AllFonts().getFontsByFamilyName('MyFontFamily').getFontsByStyleName('Regular')[0] dstFont = AllFonts().getFontsByFamilyName('MyFontFamily').getFontsByStyleName('Italic')[0] # iterate over selected glyphs in the source font for glyphName in srcFont.selectedGlyphNames: # get the source glyph srcGlyph = srcFont[glyphName] # if the glyph doesn't have any anchors, skip it if not len(srcGlyph.anchors): continue # get the destination glyph dstGlyph = dstFont[glyphName] # iterate over all anchors in the source glyph for anchor in srcGlyph.anchors: # copy anchor to destination glyph dstGlyph.appendAnchor(anchor.name, (anchor.x, anchor.y)) # done! make sure to replace MyFontFamily and Regular / Italic with the family name and style names of your fonts. cheers!

Dont get it why Gustavo's answer does not work... You initiate only once an instance from that class and import it back into other modules. A fourth easy solution is to add a variable to NSApp() import AppKit app = AppKit.NSApp() app._my_extenstion_name_controller = "foo" this will be accessible everywhere, but this is actually the same as Gustavo's answers, just stored somewhere else :)

Lifesaver! Thanks @frederik

maybe you have to explain what you want to achieve... A space center object has getRaw which returns the input text as seen in the control and get which returns a list of glyph names, those are parsed from the input controls.

@gferreira I see, thanks!!!

oh, idd not working as it should be... will be fixed in next beta/release thanks

the /data folder seems like a good place you can subscribe to fontBecameCurrent and execute the .py file with from lib.scripting.scriptTools import ScriptRunner ScriptRunner("path/To/script.py)

support for folders in the list of start-up scripts is now available in the 3.4 beta — thanks! also added to the docs

Well that doesn't surprise me since I have no idea what I'm doing. I'll read up on notifications. It would be helpful to know why this is bad though.

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...

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...

Ahhh, that makes sense now. That’s a good tip about __init.py__ as well. Thank you so much for your help, Gustavo!

@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?

hello @mr, this seems to work: from mojo.UI import AllFontWindows f = AllFonts().getFontsByStyleName('Italic')[0] for fontWindow in AllFontWindows(): if fontWindow._font == f.naked(): fontWindow.window().show() cheers!

I didn't know about spaceCenterInputSamples and managed to get at them through the space center window itself. I should probably look at updating these: https://gist.github.com/okay-type/6e36bfd93e938f5f98253ab31a27f24e https://gist.github.com/okay-type/85e6f60fc35092d5a6249ee26b2bdd4c

Hi Gustavo, thank you! Ok, that explains it. I assumed the lock was for each glyph separately.
