Ive written a proper vanilla patch which is already in the vanilla repo. This will be in the next update of RoboFont.

It adds addToolBarItem and removeToolbarItem to a vanilla window object, able to manage toolbar items properly.

see https://github.com/typesupply/vanilla/blob/master/Lib/vanilla/vanillaWindows.py#L631

Space center is a multi line view, add “\n” in you input string and a new line is being added

good luck!

Hi

saving a fontTools object into the same file path is not a good plan. FontTools read the file only when it is required to read them, this is causing the error. Save to a temp file and replace it when you are done. This is safer as you can eliminate possible saving errors.

For now the event “fontDidGenerate” is only send when using the generate from the menu. I didn’t made up my mind if this should be called when a font is generated programmatically, as a script already knows when a font is being generated and the script is able to do some post-processing of the fonts.

thanks

Use vanilla.dialogs to get file paths to open or save.
see https://github.com/typesupply/vanilla/blob/master/Lib/vanilla/dialogs.py

or when your window controller is a subclass of an defconAppKit BaseWindowController use showGetFolder, showGetFile
see https://github.com/typesupply/defconAppKit/blob/master/Lib/defconAppKit/windows/baseWindow.py

good luck

He Jeremie

you could do some post processing when a font is generated and add a kern table to the font whenever a font is being generated.

There is a notification event “fontDidGenerate” you could subscribe to

good luck

cool, thanks

also check out Gustavo’s hTools2 http://hipertipo.org/temp/hTools2/_html/

there are some layers scripts available there

good luck

Cocoa is rather smart in updating views and this is a good example: it prevents the update while there is something else running.

You could force to update the view but maybe a better way is to use the defconAppKit base window and use the a progress from there.

from defconAppKit.windows.baseWindow import BaseWindowController
from vanilla import *

from time import sleep

class Test(BaseWindowController):
    
    def __init__(self):
        
        self.w = Window((200, 40))
        self.w.b = Button((10, 10, -10, 22), "Push", callback=self.buttonCallback)
        self.w.open()
        
    def buttonCallback(self, sender):
        progress = self.startProgress("Doing it...")
        
        for v in ["he", "I'm", "almost", "done"]:
            progress.update(v)
            sleep(0.5)
        
        progress.close()

Test()

good luck
