Hi,

I think I found a bug. When setting a default for the GlyphView and UpdateCurrentGlyphView, it won’t be visible until I reopen the GlyphView.
For now all I want is to set the grid. Maybe it can be done more simple? Here is my code.
```
from lib.tools.defaults import getDefault, setDefault
from mojo.UI import UpdateCurrentGlyphView

print getDefault('glyphViewGridx')
print getDefault('glyphViewGridy')

setDefault('glyphViewGridx', 32)
setDefault('glyphViewGridy', 32)

UpdateCurrentGlyphView()
```
Thanks, Thom

UpdateCurrentGlyphView() just refreshes the glyph view, it ask to redraw. It will not update defaults / preferences

You can update the defaults in all views by posting an preferences changed notification.
```
from lib.tools.notifications import PostNotification
PostNotification("doodle.preferencesChanged")
```
similar to the ShapeTool see https://github.com/typemytype/RoboFontExtensions/blob/master/pixelTool/PixelTool.roboFontExt/lib/PixelTool.py#L109

good luck

That does the trick like it should be ;)
