      @HB888 is there a chance you have a “space” typed at the end of each of the 2nd and 3rd lines?

      what font1.defaultLayer[glyph.name] = glyph does: check if the glyph already exists: if it exist it will be removed from that layer: so that the reason why the glyph is at the end of the glyph order in the font overview. (as that glyph is also removed from the glyph order) create a new glyph draw the given glyph in the newly created glyph I cannot reproduce the error, based on your instructions. I will flag this to investigate.

      I have tried deleting my RoboFont preferences file and also deleting and reinstalling the RoboFont Application. Unfortunately, my issue with Test Installed fonts becoming unavailable within 60 seconds of creating them persists. If anyone has any further suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

      Fairly randomly, if I make adjustments to the list of glyphs in a set, or make a new set, the changes aren't saved and either the whole set gets deleted or reverts back to previous versions. No output data available. Rockin Version 3.4 (build 2004281315) on Catalina 10.15.7

      If public.default is the name of a layer, but it is not set as the default layer, the UFO will not save, and pops up with "The document [file-name] could not be saved. The file isn’t in the correct format." Output window: Traceback (most recent call last): File "lib/doodleDocument.pyc", line 186, in writeSafelyToURL_ofType_forSaveOperation_error_ File "lib/fontObjects/doodleFont.pyc", line 224, in save File "/Applications/RoboFont_3-5b2.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/defcon/objects/font.py", line 823, in save AssertionError Weird edge case, but took me a while to figure out when I ran into it. The UFO was a generated instance, and I had manually returned it to the foreground (default), background layer naming scheme, so it could work with some of my inelegant scripts.

      ehum, if the data is incorrect its hard to find a solution for this issue. MM is build as such this doesn't happen :) I dont know what should happen in this case: MM should not create empty kern groups MM should not return empty list for not existing groups as fallback MM should not remove that pair with the missing group. Maybe MM should report, so it gets fixed first. (but there are many edge cases to report...) (Maybe this is a case for ufonormalizer?)

      Noted down and added to the MetricsMachine todo list. The skippeing-glyphs lib key and Metrics Machine originated years apart of each other :)

      @tallpauley Thanks for the update to run the command! This gives me something to play around with. To take it a step further, is there a lib API I can use to also pull in space center and glyph view shortcuts, like whatever they use to populate their "Hot Keys" tabs? (Btw, I won't filter out commands that don't have shortcut keys, this is part of the allure of having a command palette, you can access commands that don't have shortcuts keys defined yet). I saw mojo.UI.setGlyphViewDisplaySettings, but this isn't all the available commands for glyph view. For space center I didn't see any API in mojo.UI I would dig around myself, but I think you guys compile to .pyc and I don't want to violate the EULA by reverse engineering (hence me actually clicking on the EULA lol). Once I have all the commands available, I think I should have what I need.

      Hi @frederik It just never ends, no tracebacks. If I don’t manage to solve it with @gferreira tip I will try to prepare a dummy ufo and post it here. Thank you both!

      Thank you. That's great to hear Frederik. Please wait a little with pushing an update. I encountered a bunch of small errors that you might want to have a look at too. Will post them shortly.

      hello @ArrowType, the Application Menu page shows only the modifier keys needed to toggle some menu items (such as Preferences Editor, Select All, etc). the keyboard shortcuts for the main menu (for example ⌘+N, ⌘+O, etc) are collected in the Keyboard Shortcuts page. hope this is clear!

      @jansindl3r That is possible... there were some bug fixed related to trial and student versions of extensions. Will send @erik new student licenses for MM and PP. @erik will need to compile a fresh version of Skateboard for students ( @tal )

      @gferreira Thanks. What I did was the opposite. Just tell me if it's OK to do > I was looking for <string>foreground</string> in the lib.plist file, and changed the name to a different name. saved. and the new name replaced the duplicated foreground layer inside the layers in RB. then, I just deleted the layer with the new name. Is it good enough? Thank you.
