Frederik?
There are some limitations with Blue Zones.
“Up to seven pairs may be given in the BlueValues array; the first pair must be the baseline pair.”
“Up to five pairs (10 integers) may be specified in the OtherBlues array”
Read page 36-38 from T1spec.pdf
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/T1_SPEC.PDF“came out of a discussion a long long time ago on the beta list” as an answer doesn’t help my understanding a lot…
Anybody?
Sorry. I meant: what is RF’s path for generating .ttf fonts?
For .otf fonts the path is something simple like: RF UFO > ufo2dfk > FDK generates .otf
For .ttf fonts the path is something like: RF UFO > ???
(eg. RF-python script + ttLib > FDK > RF-python script + ttLib > .ttf ?)
I think in version 1.4 this is still reversed (& hot keys cannot include arrows).
Should I really move to the Southern Hemisphere?
Okay, handy. So how often does RoboFont check for external updates?
version 1.4: “optimizing external changes (like when a UFO is stored in a dropbox folder and changed when RoboFont is active)”
What did exactly change on this issue?
Ahhhh… totally missed that. Thanks.
(btw. excellent tool: worth a native function ;-)
We’re experiencing trouble working with multiple people simultaneously on the same .ufo (using Dropbox). RF doesn’t always notify external updates in .ufos. If person 1 saves a .ufo, person 2 doesn’t get a notification. If person 2 later on saves his .ufo, all modifications of person 1 are gone.
Sometimes a notification appears in RF, but only after a couple of minutes. Isn’t the update instant?
Note that this changed in AGLFN 1.7

Same experience here.
But RF could do a much better job in preserving paths, like in the example above. That example doesn’t contain any extreme values. What’s the reason RF’s paths are so far off the original path? And which value get limited?
