g = self.getGlyph()
f = g.getParent()

in order to obtain the font containing the glyph g.
However, when I have two opened fonts F1 and F2 and two GlyphWindows opened (one from each font : g1 from F1 and g2 from F2), and when I go from one glyph window to the other, the following code :

print g.name, g.getParent.fileName

gives me : g1 F2 or g2 F1
and after some more clicking, I finally get correct values (g1 F1 or g2 F2)

There seem to be only partially updated information when switching windows.

could you make an small example?

I cannot reproduce this issue, with a quick test...

thanks

<pre>
from mojo.events import BaseEventTool, installTool

class TestTool(BaseEventTool):

def currentGlyphChanged(self):
    g = self.getGlyph()
    f = g.getParent()
    print g.name, f

installTool(TestTool())
</pre>

• Open two fonts F1 and F2
• Open glyph g1 from font F1
  (now there are three windows opened, plus the output window)
• Bring the window for the font F2 to the front
• click on the glyphs grid, on a glyph g2 (with a name different from g1)
  Now you should observe "g1 <F2>" in the output window

[Another weirdness: the callbacks "viewDidChangeGlyph" and "currentGlyphChanged" are called before "becomeActive"]
Best regards,
Samuel

the mixed parents will be fixed in the next update, thanks for reporting

one thing: a <code>tool.getGlyph()</code> method will always return a glyph from a glyph view, if you select a font window, it will send you a <code>currentGlyphChanged</code> notification, but the glyph will not actually change when using the <code>tool.getGlyph()</code>. To get the global current glyph use <code>CurrentGlyph()</code>

the other weirdness: see https://github.com/typemytype/RoboFontExamples/blob/master/observers/eventObserver.py

a tool can become active separately from a <code>currentGlyphChanged</code> or <code>viewDidChangeGlyph</code>
