Can I create a font object from Robofont but not get it opened? I mean write to it from the script but not have the font window open. I’m dealing with huge fonts and performance is now very important. I can do it outside Robofont, but in RF I have an easy access to vanilla for dialogs.
Thanks.

```
font = OpenFont("path/to/your/font.ufo", showUI=False)
```

Thanks for the tip, Frederik.
That made everything smooth, as doing it outside RF, same performance, better access to dialogs : )
BTW, Is there any chance to get the RoboFont documentation for reading offline?

I tried several word press plugins but none of them are satisfying.
If I offer a pdf for download I would like that the download is in sync with the current documentation.

Ok, we’ll wait then. Other formats, as html itself would work too in the meantime.
Thanks!

I bundled all documentation on a single html page.
