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

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 for your example!!

Wow, that fixed it. I have no idea how I managed to unknowingly do that. Thanks!

@pieterpjotr super enjoy!!

@benedikt said in Traceback when sorting AllFonts(): fontParts.world.FontList these functionalities should be provided by an implementation and not by fontParts, similar to CurrentFont, CurrentGlyph, CurrentLayer, CurrentContour, CurrentPoint,... FontList is optional but could be provided by an implementation.

Wow, thank you * 10000 for the help, Frederik! I really appreciate it.

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

Oops; nevermind! Just found out that macOS has a built-in feature to do this exact thing. Just use the shortcut option + command + w.

euhm, never tried that... but will write it down

@gferreira Thanks! Works perfectly!

Hello again! My weekend robofont training (self imposed) continues, and I may have discovered a bug. I am attempting a live update on the compatibility of two glyphs from different fonts. The idea at its most basic could manifest as a red mark drawn to the glyph window canvas whenever the glyph becomes incompatible whilst you are drawing/editing the glyph. I am using isCompatible() and a glyph.changed observer It reports when I make a change to the glyph, calling a function that for now simply prints the result of isCompatible. It works fine if I remove a contour, and it works fine if I add a point to an existing contour using knife, but it seems to crash if I use the bezier tool to start drawing a new contour. I have a gist here, please try to replicate the error. https://gist.github.com/MBurvill/fb6772f9e8bc49e583f16e6dc650b7d8#file-isCompatibleObserverBugTest-py FYI I found the useage of glyph.changed in one of Frederiks examples (stencil preview), but usage of this observer appears to be undocumented, I would expect to be able to find it at http://doc.robofont.com/api/custom-observers/ Thanks!

I just noticed this is still sitting here. For future reference: I tried this again in RF 3.3, and it works perfectly now. from mojo.UI import CurrentSpaceCenter sc = CurrentSpaceCenter() sc.setSuffix('.sc') # boom, works

I found a way to speed up the brute force approach though. If you can use external Python modules: from scipy import spatial tree = spatial.KDTree(t_list) # t_list is a list of pre-calculated point coordinate tuples on the cubic curve distance, index = tree.query(pt) # pt is the given point coordinate tuple t_for_pt = float(index) / (len(tree.data) - 1) t_list must be constructed in a way that the first entry is for t = 0 and the last entry for t = 1. It doesn't matter how many points for increments of t you calculate, as long as the index in t_list is proportional to t. Smaller increments of t increase the precision of the result, but the list takes longer to build.

mmm, not directly from the robofab objects but you could use the naked object g = CurrentGlyph() # remove the first segment from the first contour g[0].naked().removeSegment(0, preserveCurve=True) good luck!

As far as I understand this example, this will run forever until a traceback is raised. This seems to work fine with an htmlView inside RoboFont. Good luck

Is there any update on this. I'm trying to make a sub class of BaseWindowController to run a method if the window is already open. Still OpenWindow returns None. Thanks

I have this... But it is buggy. See if you scroll. If you change a glyph the factory doest work, only after scrolling/clicking on the overview.. Here I need a bit help :) from vanilla import * from defconAppKit.controls.glyphCollectionView import * from defconAppKit.windows.baseWindow import BaseWindowController from mojo.UI import SetCurrentGlyphByName class MyFont(BaseWindowController): def __init__(self, glyphs): self.w = Window((900,600), '') self.w.collectionView = GlyphCollectionView((15, 15, -15, -65), doubleClickCallback=self.double, cellRepresentationName='doodle.GlyphCell') self.w.collectionView.setCellSize((100, 100)) self.setUpBaseWindowBehavior() self.w.collectionView.preloadGlyphCellImages() self.w.collectionView.set(glyphs) self.updateTitle() self.w.open() def updateTitle(self): title = f.info.familyName +' - '+ f.info.styleName+', '+ str(CurrentGlyph()) self.w.setTitle(title) def double(self, sender): order = f.lib.get('public.glyphOrder') SetCurrentGlyphByName(order[self.w.collectionView.getSelection()[0]]) self.updateTitle() f = CurrentFont() g = CurrentGlyph() glyphs = [] for g in f.lib.get('public.glyphOrder'): glyphs.append(f[g]) MyFont(glyphs)

Great! I've fixed that file and now it works perfect. Thanks, em.

he Bahman you can use: from mojo.UI import setGlyphViewDisplaySettings, getGlyphViewDisplaySettings settings = getGlyphViewDisplaySettings() print settings # change something, and set it back # setGlyphViewDisplaySettings(settings) good luck
