<![CDATA[booleanOperations for dummies]]>Hi,
I'm trying to work with booleanOperations in my font, but I get no result, nor error. I want to change the shape of my glyph "B" by applying a boolean operation (difference) using the shape in my glyph "x"

Could you give me a pointer what I'm doing wrong?

from booleanOperations.booleanGlyph import BooleanGlyph
font = CurrentFont()
BooleanGlyph(font["B"]).difference(font["x"])

Thank

https://robofont.com/documentation/building-tools/toolkit/boolean-glyphmath/

font = CurrentFont()

g1 = font["B"]
g2 = font["x"]

# difference
result = g1 % g2

dest = font["B"]
dest.clear()
dest.appendGlyph(result)
