    Perhaps its worth a followup to mention vfb2ufo thing that works without having RoboFab in FontLab. Or even without having FontLab.

    True

    the latest release (1.6) has already support for vfb2ufo, if it is installed in the proper place

    Hi,
    Where must vfb2ufo be installed to open vfb files directly in Robofont?

    It’s installed in /usr/local/bin but Robofont can’t open .vfb files
    Is there something else I must do to enable this?

    it should be living in /usr/local/bin/vfb2ufo

    it should also listen to which vfb2ufo in terminal, that is how RoboFont looks for it.

    And you probably have to restart RoboFont as the hasVFB2UFO flag is being set during start up

    good luck
