Thank you Frederik,
already found a solution – one thing: should observers like “FontDidOpen” or “FontWillOpen” work with OpenFont(path, showUI=False).
Thanks in Advance.

Another thing not related to this: I opened some Italic .otfs
and it seems that the sidebearings are shiftet.
Glyphs which are usually centered are shifted to the left for example.
I am I missing something – any reason for that – or a way to deal with that?

thanks again!

He Luke

when ‘Display Italic Angle’ is enabled RF will show slanted side bearings. When using those slanted side bearings it advised to set a proper ‘Slant Offset’, which is just a display option that shifts the glyph in the glyph view. (see font info > RoboFont tag)

good luck!
