The generateAllKernFiles.py from Adobe seems to be a nice workaround in the meantime? It is not as user-friendly as the MM feature but yea:(

Would it be possible, with MetricsMachine working inside of Robofont, to have the "insert subtable breaks" option from MM Batch Export available in Robofont's Generation Fonts?

Those subtables solve 90% of my overflow problems.

(don’t expect it anytime soon...)

generateAllKernFiles.py

That’s not a RF script, just run it on the command line.
Even easier is https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/python-modules :

kernFeatureWriter.py my_font.ufo

from metricsMachine import MetricsMachineFont

font = MetricsMachineFont(font)
text = font.kerning.compileFeatureText(insertSubtableBreaks=True)
font.kerning.exportFeatureText(aPath, insertSubtableBreaks=True)
font.kerning.insertFeatureText(insertSubtableBreaks=True)

Thank you! I think I've used it a dozen times in the past week and every time I use it I am so happy.
