<![CDATA[Update TemplateGlyphs]]>Hi, I want to have more controle over the TemplateGlyphs. So I making my own tool. It change the public.glyphOrder. But it doesn't show my new TemplateGlyphs until the font is closed and reopened. f.update() doesn't do the trick.

If I add for example Kacute to the font, it will not add automatic the unicode value to the glyph. Can I changed this?

When does RoboFont show the preview font in the TemplateGlyphs? Name, unicode, combination?
I tested around to get the Kacute as a TemplateGlyph [used my own font as previewFont, it contains a Kacute + unicode], no succes…

Thanks again

f = CurrentFont()

glyphOrder = f.glyphOrder

glyphOrder.append("addedGlyph")

f.glyphOrder = glyphOrder

The glyph name to unicode are extracted from the fontTools agl.py
see http://sourceforge.net/p/fonttools/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/Lib/fontTools/agl.py

you can add custom unicode by adding a unicode value to the glyph name:
see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/font-collection/adding-and-deleting-glyphs/

so add a glyph Kacute|1E30

good luck

glyphOrder = []
for glyph in f.lib['public.glyphOrder']:
	glyphOrder.append(glyph)
for glyph in myListOfGlyphs:
	glyphOrder.append(glyph)
f.glyphOrder = glyphOrder

Thanks Fredrik!
