No ;-)
ufo2fdk is embedded and by default using the embedded FDK, you can disable the use of of the internal FDK in the preferences.
The file menu option “Generate” or through scripting font.generate(…) is using FDK to build the binaries. It’s up to you if you want to use the embedded FDK or a custom installed version on your local HD.
this feature isn’t embedded but :)
you could import the kerning from a afm file with roboFab into the CurrentFontsee http://robofab.org/objects/kerning.html
f = CurrentFont() # this is only importing the kerning from a AFM file f.kerning.importAFM("path/to/a/afm/file")There is a scripting possibility to access, change and manage the input string for the space center
see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/scripting/api/mojo/mojo-ui/ (CurrentSpaceCenter)
If you store user defaults through the app its will be fine.
no worries :)Its possible that more functionality’s will be added to the list of keyboard shortcuts in the preferences window.
You can also write a custom script that will will be launched at startup that is just observer the keyDown in RoboFont and map those keyDown notifications to your own functionality.
see:
http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/scripting/custom-observers/
http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/preferences/ (python tab)Those settings are related to the UFO. If you have set them once it will remember the setting for that UFO. There is not a app specific setting for that.
You can also change those settings in the font info sheet of the UFO.see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/windows/sheets/font-info-sheet/
not embedded but you can write a script that could this easily :)
Kerning in MetricsMachine is advised but you can access the kerning sheet in RoboFont by ‘alt’ click the toolbar icon.
see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/windows/toolbars/font-toolbar/
see the preferences http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/preferences/
you can find a checkbox under the “misc” tabgood luck
