Awesome, thanks for the added clarifications and advice, @gferreira and @frederik!

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

Cool. Thank you Frederik!

jup, makes perfect sense, thanks!

Thanks!

hello frederik, thanks for the reply. I know this works in other applications (all cocoa apps?) as well. But if I use it in Mail, Safari or TextEdit it always gives me an english WordList (which is my OS language). I cannot think of anyplace in my computer where I set the language to Dutch. That is why I had the idea that it might be possible to change it in RoboFont. Groeten, jo

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

I see, thanks for reporting, will be fixed in the next version.

I don't know the difference! But in fontlab when I open a font, in the kern feature I can see that LTR kerning is interpreted like this: pos uni0631 uni0628 -225; But RTL kerning is interpreted like this: pos uni0631 uni0628 <-225 0 -225 0>; So I suppose RTL kerning should be implemented with adjustments applied to position of the glyph too, maybe I'm wrong; I'm not a pro. (see AFDKO OpenType Feature File Specification) About the kerning in RoboFont, I think there is a malfunction in the "Right to left" Option in the kerning panel. Here is what I do: I open a font which already has RTL kerning, Robofont interprets kerning correctly. I open the kerning panel and click on a class pair, the kerning shows up but order of glyphs is incorrect, I turn the "Right to Left" option on; Nothing Happens! I turn it off, now order of glyphs becomes right, even so the kerning has been implemented in RTL order.

Seconds screens is always a mess with full screens. You could open a new Space Center in single window mode: from mojo.UI import OpenSpaceCenter font = CurrentFont() if font: OpenSpaceCenter(font) good luck!

see http://doc.robofont.com/api/mojo/mojo-ui/ from mojo.UI import OpenSpaceCenter OpenSpaceCenter(CurrentFont(), newWindow=True)

'alt' sounds great to me : ) Dank u

yeah, python and unicode :) In the next release RoboFont will check if an unicode value is bigger than 0x10000 (65536) to open a Space Center.

thanks, was able to reproduce it, will be fixed in the next update :)

That helps! Thanks. :)

great! thanks

yeah, will be in the next version!! thanks for the tip

Thanks a lot, it does the trick. Note to users: ## print them nicely means with a wordspace between each glyph. For proofing, I need to get rid of the space, so I simply removed it between the quotes: print " ".join(allGlyphs) → print "".join(allGlyphs)

ooh sorry to fast :) only in multiple window mode off course http://cl.ly/CTs2

This works perfectly (1.1 beta 2), Thanks!
