Hi,
This “Building Accents” code (almost 100% taken from the RFab site) is not working and I can’t figure out why. It runs apparently fine but the glyphs are not updated, they keep empty.
Any thought? Am I missing something?Thanks,
Joancarles

[I just prettified your code example]
October 4, 2011 at 19:47 #999the font overview doesn’t get updated, this will be solved in the next version…..
side note:
## glyph.mark takes a tuple of 4 r = 1 g = 0 b = 0 a = 1 glyph.mark = (r, g, b, a)
October 4, 2011 at 19:59 #1000and its maybe better to use font.compile since you already know the base glyph and accents
## in your example ## replace f.generateGlyph(k, preflight=preflight) by f.compileGlyph(k, baseName=base+tag, accentNames=accents, preflight=preflight)October 17, 2011 at 16:18 #1079Apart from the refresh of the font Overview, the anchors are ignored when placing the accents. It just appends the components ignoring the anchors placement.
Can you confirm this?October 17, 2011 at 20:10 #1080its idd not working in the current build
this will be working in the next update, this is scheduled soon :) -
