Dear Robofont forum,
during the running of a script similar to:
```
for i in range(0,100):
    openSomeFonts()
    MixSomeGlyphInAnewFont()
    ExportOtf()"
```
the hard disk became full.

Before:

After:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5730475/after.png

May it be a problem with the management of temporary files?
I can share the complete script, if it can be useful.

Best,
Roberto

This is a know issue with pyObjc, the cocoa wrapper for building apps on a mac.

a small tip:

for modifying font data in a batch (multiple fonts at once) it is advised to use font = OpenFont(path, showUI=False) so there is no UI build for the font, extremely fast and less memory usage

good luck!

Thanks for you reply.
I will try without showing the UI.
