Hi Bahman,
You could map the menu item “Save” to another key combination (say, control-s) using System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts > RoboFont. Then you could use a script manager like FastScripts to map Cmd-S to your script.
Works for me, but I’m not using the latest OS.

Hi Mathieu,
I’ve been wanting to do the same. I just spotted this in the 1.4 release notes:
• page begin, page end jump through anchor selection
(they’re the home and end keys on my keyboard)
Perfect for my needs. Thanks Frederik!
Hey Roberto,
The problem seems to relate to your font family name. It exported fine for me after I deleted ” Emma” from the end…
I can’t remember the naming restrictions, but I suspect the problem relates to the fact that you’ve used two spaces in the name. I also seem to remember that the full name can’t exceed 19 or 21 characters…
Maybe someone can clarify?
Best,
Dan4) A couple of thoughts:
Breaking measurements when they cross horizontal metrics would be undesirable in many situations [e.g. when trying to measure the distance between two contours in a glyph which overshoots (e.g. the stroke at the top or bottom of an ‘o’)].
Perhaps the measurement tool’s behaviour in relation to horizontal metrics could depend on where the measurement lines start and finish:
Measurements could be cut at a horizontal metric line only when the horizontal metric line is the first or last line which it crosses (i.e. when it’s not disturbing a measurement between two contours).
Actually, perhaps this idea could be applied more broadly to include horizontal and vertical guides as well? [cutting at guides would be useful sometimes]
And conversely, this could mean that the measurement line is not cut at sidebearings when the measurement line crosses contours which fall on either side of the sidebearing.
Thanks again for being so open to suggestions Frederik!
You can also set the keyboard shortcuts through System Prefs > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts. This allows a greater range of keys and modifiers.
In the meantime you can append glyphs by copying selected glyphs to the clipboard in the Font Collection and then pasting them into the text input field in Space Center.
It would be great if we could eventually drag glyphs directly into the preview part of the Space Center. Dragging into the text input field gets a bit messy when you’re dealing with lots of explicit /glyphNames. No doubt this is easier said than done ;-)
