default .ufo and .py

Is there a way to change the default ufo that opens when opening a new font, or do I need to auto generate what I need on newFontDidOpen?
Can this be done for new scripts also? I wish to put font = CurrentFont() etc. in there by default.

Yes, it's very handy. It would be handy also in the scripting window. :)
Thanks!

this is very nice indeed :) use settings.editStartupCode() to define some code to be executed when the interpreter is started:

There is the wonderfull RoboREPL extension from Tal, where you have a terminal style direct interactions

hi Timo,

the character set of new fonts can be chosen in the preferences:

other than this, you’ll really need to use a newFontDidOpen observer:

from mojo.events import addObserver

class MyCustomNewFont:

    def __init__(self):
        addObserver(self, "customizeFont", "newFontDidOpen")

    def customizeFont(self, info):
        f = info['font']
        f.info.familyName = 'Untitled'

MyCustomNewFont()

AFAIK there’s no notification for new scripts… maybe something to consider
