He Thom use in your "external" scripts from robofab.world import CurrentFont or from mojo.roboFont import CurrentFont Those global variables (CurrentFont, CurrentGlyph, …) are injected in the main script automatically. good luck!

Perfect! Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for.

follow up: Also if you scale the blues in the font by a factor the value become <real> in the fontinfo instead of <integer>. Now you can not edit them in the fontinfo window anymore... So be sure to int(here_a_blue_value)

That does the trick like it should be ;) Thanks again Frederik!

that would be nice :) as it is now you can open your script browser (see button on the bottom left of the scripting window) and switch from script to script...

Thank u Jens!

Thanks, that did it! :)

You can drag and drop a glyph selection to change the order. The drag starts after 0.4 of a sec, to prevent accidentally reordering of glyphs. You can also set a glyph order with a script: font = CurrentFont() # this is a list of glyph names font.glyphOrder = ["a", "agrave", "b", "c"] if you changed the glyph order (manually or script) the sorting is disabled. There is no glyph index in the UFO data, but each glyph has an glyph.index returning the index related to the glyph order. Please take note that the glyph order in the final font can be different if you don't added .notdef or enabled "Use MacRoman as the start of the glyph order" while compiling. Adding or removing glyphs will always alter the glyph order. It is depending on your settings where new glyphs would be added (at the end or somewhere in a sorted position) Good luck

Thanks!

oh thanks, will be fixed in the next version

Yes, that will work. Thanks!

many thanks joanca : ) this is spot on what I needed best david

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

A robofab component will have a transformation attribute in the next version.

Hi Jack, thanks for your detailed answer! I will try to integrate your recommendation and report back next week. :-)

sorry, its indeed CheckBox

No really, it remove also the existing templateGlyphs. But: glyphOrder = [] for glyph in f.lib['public.glyphOrder']: glyphOrder.append(glyph) for glyph in myListOfGlyphs: glyphOrder.append(glyph) f.glyphOrder = glyphOrder Thanks Fredrik!

Thanks, that's what I was looking for!

ok, thanks for the super fast reply.

Thanks for you reply. I will try without showing the UI.
