I bundled all documentation on a single html page. http://doc.robofont.com/the-complete-robofont-guide/

The gray template glyph cells are being build up for new UFOs from the character set in the preferences and for existing UFOs the font lib key public.glyphOrder if the lib key is existing. You can alter the data in the lib easily with interaction with the UI by: font = CurrentFont() glyphOrder = font.glyphOrder glyphOrder.remove("a") # test before removing a name if its in the list font.glyphOrder = glyphOrder # done This is sort of what happens when you alt-delete a glyph in the font overview. good luck

It will return False also if there is a key in the glyph.lib. Main reason is that the glyph.lib contains user set data and when a user has added some data in the lib, like a mark color, but also layers, the glyph has some data so its not empty...

For now, I haven't found a way to directly insert my toolbarItem into the toolbar as I couldn't get insertItemWithItemIdentifier:()atIndex:() to work in the context of my script/extension, but probably I'm just being daft here. So currently I read all the items in the glyph window toolbar, add my item, and use vanilla's addToolbar method to replace the toolbar. That's looking good so far, all the previously present items are there, glyph tools work, and my item shows up (not as a button yet, that's lined up next). RemoveOverlap in the replaced toolbar crashes right now when clicked (I guess I'm somehow breaking the delegate or something), but I hope to get that sorted, too.

well spaces in a folder are never a good idea :)

This was idd a bug in version 1.2 where it seems to be possible that a contour has zero points, this is solved in the upcoming RoboFont 1.3. thanks

hi frederik I cannot say for sure. I think I changed something in the Name Setting. Either the General Identification fields or the Postscript Identification. I did not change the values with a script this time but "manually". Sorry I cannot provide any better information. jo

Yup, I already had a solution: f = CurrentFont() g = CurrentGlyph() red = (1,0,0,1) cyan = (0,1,1,1) for g in f: if g.mark == cyan: g.mark = red g.update() :)

Yes, this is easier and does exactly what I want! Thanks Frederik!

python creates .pyc files on the fly during runtime only if the compiled version is not existing. You can force to reload a module by: import myModule reload(myModule) good luck

thanks, great catch will be fixed in the next version

Yo, Thank you for the hint. Although I did some visual overall scaling and shifting in FLS, using a script, once I've found the right settings in RoboFont, I'll manage to reimport all my images. Best

naming inside a file isn't a good idea: all files have be parsed before a menu can be build will add some functionality to mojo.UI in the next version from mojo.UI import getScriptingMenuNamingShortKey, setScriptingMenuNamingShortKey data = getScriptingMenuNamingShortKey() data['/path/to/my/python/script.py'] = dict(preferredName="my script name", shortKey="d") setScriptingMenuNamingShortKey(data)

Thanks. :)

can you elaborate what you want to achieve with the special rotation behavior? you can build a custom tool and draw the selected points yourself: s = 5 ## / scale # in a tool you can get the scale value for x, y in CurrentGlyph().selection: oval(x-s, y-s, s*2, s*2)

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

that is a bug, and already solved in the beta, will be in the next release a workaround: from robofab.pens.filterPen import ThresholdPen tempGlyph = RGlyph() glyph = CurrentGlyph() pen = ThresholdPen(tempGlyph.getPen(), threshold=10) glyph.draw(pen) glyph.clear() glyph.appendGlyph(tempGlyph) print "done" good luck

cool, post from 2012!! 👋🏼 If you have a script open both in RF and an external editor, edit it externally, jump back to RF, the script auto updates as long as no changes were made in RF. There is also a really cool helper for Sublime Text, by @bahman

dank u Frederik

Great, that will be very helpful! Thanks!
