Hi,

Is there a way to copy all font infos from a font to another?

OK,

The only way I found to do this is that:
https://github.com/sansplomb/RobofontTools/blob/master/Tests/copyFontInfos.py

might be useful to some, unless there is a smarter way to do?

On the file system level, copy the
```
fontinfo.plist
```
from one UFO to the other.

yep, this works too:
```
###
import os
import shutil

f = CurrentFont()
nf = NewFont(showUI=False)

UFOroot = f.path
infotail = 'fontinfo.plist'
sourcefontinfopath = os.path.join(UFOroot, infotail)

root, tail =  os.path.split(f.path)
newUFOTail = 'New_' + tail.split('.')[0] + '.ufo'
newUFOroot = os.path.join(root, newUFOTail)

destfontinfopath = os.path.join(newUFOroot, infotail)

nf.save(newUFOroot)

shutil.copyfile(sourcefontinfopath, destfontinfopath)
nf.close()

RFont(newUFOroot)
###
```

an info object has a method asDict() returning a dict with all the key / values of the font info

hope this helps
