do you have an example script that causes this issue?

Ow Bummer ( T ʖ̯ T). Thank you anyway!

I downloaded from the email link again (accidentally skipping over your first recommendation), and ... it seems like maybe something is broken in the UI. It doesn't show anything for an interface: The output window contains this message: /Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/fs/base.py:74: DeprecationWarning: method 'getbytes' has been deprecated, please rename to 'readbytes' parts ['space', '0020', 'Zs'] parts ['exclam', '0021', 'Po'] parts ['quotedbl', '0022', 'Po'] parts ['numbersign', '0023', 'Po'] # a bunch of unicode entries are here parts ['scooter', '1F6F4', 'So'] parts ['motorScooter', '1F6F5', 'So'] parts ['canoe', '1F6F6', 'So'] parts ['sled', '1F6F7', 'So'] parts ['flyingSaucer', '1F6F8', 'So'] parts ['skateboard', '1F6F9', 'So'] /Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/defcon/objects/glyph.py:20: DeprecationWarning: addRepresentationFactory is deprecated.

However, if I then try to select the designspace which I was previously using in Skateboard (so I am fairly certain is valid), RoboFont then crashes. Just before I do select a file, this appears in the output window: I'm guessing maybe some kind of simple syntax error might be causing this.

this brings a very old issue back... https://github.com/robotools/vanilla/blob/master/Lib/vanilla/vanillaWindows.py#L465-L466 follow up here

Ah cool. Thank you!

very strange indeed... I cannot reproduce this on 10.13, will try on a 10.14 later on today.

hi I was wondering if there is a way to join two (open) contours with a script. E.g. join last point of contour A with first point of contour B. If I select these points in the glyph-view and click on "Close/Join Open Contours" this works. Is there also a scripting-based way to do that? thanks, jo

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

Hi there, I have a couple questions regarding point behavior: Why are there smooth corner (square) points? This only seems to yield outline errors in the UI or unusual handle generation upon opt-click-drag. Why does option-clicking or dragging on a segment sometimes also affect (and sometimes only affect) the adjacent segment? Attached image to help visualize what I'm talking about. TIA, Ryan

Yeah there it is.

Thanks for the response, @frederik. Looking forward to playing with these things in the beta!

there is a big difference between being compatible for interpolation (aka fontMath) and for variable fonts. Variable fonts requires (out of my head): same amount of point both oncurves as offcurves same amount of kerning pairs same amount of kerning groups same amount of glyphs

Ahhh yes, I use alt in basically every shortcut I create, so I don't have to worry about overriding others. Maybe there could be a setting that would enable/disable this feature? If I want to edit a script, I don't find it that cumbersome to navigate to it in the scripting window.

Visual diffs of outline changes are hard. I wonder if a visual comparison of glyphs, side by side showing all layers, would be enough. Things with numeric values could be shown in some sort of list. Hm. This is an interesting project. Maybe it could be a robotools thing that could be integrated into RoboFont.

All groups except pulic.kern groups should be shown in the reference group editor.

There is no other way :) if the point doesn't align exactly, some points need to be moved and shifted. RF opts to modify the last point (and offcurve) of the contour that is being dragged. great!!

This should be fixed in the next beta...

Sorry but I don't know any way of disabling scroll function of the mouse in the glyph view. This especially gets in the way when I'm using an Apple Magic Mouse. With this particular mouse, if I click anywhere, the view also moves very slightly right before the click. There are third-party apps to disable scrolling function of the mouse in some particular apps, but this also disables scrolling in the glyph browsing window. Please add a feature so this can be disabled in the glyph view or at least a way to prevent the scroll to get triggered right before clicking. Thanks!

but having a control char somewhere in the font info is never a good plan (you have the control character 0x80 somewhere)
