      You can not open .vfb files out of the box. Use RoboFab in FontLab to export your files to the UFO format. But if you install vfb2ufo RoboFont recognise this tool. Installing this tool will enable opening .vfb files directly, similar as other binary formats.

      it should be living in /usr/local/bin/vfb2ufo it should also listen to which vfb2ufo in terminal, that is how RoboFont looks for it. And you probably have to restart RoboFont as the hasVFB2UFO flag is being set during start up good luck

      that is easy too :) from mojo.events import addObserver class RenameGroupsObserver(object): def __init__(self): addObserver(self, "checkGroupNames", "fontDidOpen") def checkGroupNames(self, info): print "checking group names for single quotes" font = info["font"] for groupName, items in font.groups.items(): newItems = [] for glyphName in items: if "'" in glyphName: glyphName = glyphName.replace("'", "") newItems.append(glyphName) if newItems != items: ## something changed font.groups[groupName] = newItems print "done checking group names" RenameGroupsObserver() save this script in a file and add it in the preferences as a start up script and you never ever have to worry about single quotes in groups. see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/preferences/extensions/ Your font data will change and importing the UFO back in FL will change the groups behavior, off course good luck

      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

      Damn, without switching on Display Anchors, it's hard to see them ;-) I think I'm set to switch and work mostly in RoboFont, thank you for your help Bruno.
