[RF3] Activate kerning in SC window? setDisplayStates doesn’t take

[nina]

Hi Frederik and all,

I’m trying to have a script ensure that the 'Show Kerning' option is on in a Current Space Center, but I can’t get this specific option to work in the displayStates dict:

from mojo.UI import CurrentSpaceCenter

sp = CurrentSpaceCenter()
states = sp.glyphLineView.getDisplayStates()
print(states) # features "'Show Kerning': False,"

states["Show Kerning"] = True
sp.glyphLineView.setDisplayStates(states)
# kerning is still off, 'Show Kerning' option is still False

I can set other properties in that dict no problem, just not the kerning. Is there a workaround?

Still on RF3.4 here (2004281315), would be great to find a solution that works for both RF3 and RF4. Thanks!

Ahhh! Sorry I missed that. Thank you @frederik :)

you can use spaceCenter.setApplyKerning(True)

see https://robofont.com/documentation/reference/api/mojo/mojo-ui/#mojo.UI.setApplyKerning

setting display states should work better in RF4 :)
