added to the todo list
not atomically, mainly cause you have to deal with all the OT features (like kerning)
There was a nasty bug in glyph math :)
The result of some glyph math was always applied on the glyph data, which is not correct. It should return the result as a glyph object, so you can handle the result as expected: set it back in the source or store and used it somewhere else without the modifying the source data.I will add “-=” “+=” “*=” operation do the todo list
thanks
I cannot reproduce it, but regarding the traceback I can think of a possible solution….
Could you deinstall all your extensions and see if one of them are interfering the setup of a glyph window.
RoboFont gets a notification for the OS if something changed, so it’s pretty fast
Do you have two or more glyph window open?
RoboFont checks now also for updates while RoboFont is active. So if one is changing and saving a UFO in a dropbox folder, an other designer that has the same file open will get an update notification.
* in the next version the font object has a
font.setLayerDisplay(layerName, option, value)so you can alter the display options easily
* use double click or the “Close Contour” hot key
* assign a key combination to a script that is adding the current selection to the current Space Centergood luck!
this will be fixed in the next update
The zoom level for newly opened glyph windows is indeed always “fit”. This is fitting the glyph bounding box into the size of the window. When switching to an other glyph in the same glyph window the zoom level will remain the same (by either double clicking a glyph in the font overview or by the switch to the next or previous glyph or jumping to an other glyph).
The issue why not remembering the zoom level for newly opened glyph windows is that your drawing will get “lost” in space if the zoom level is big.
This is been tested in a beta version but removed cause it’s really confusing. It just makes you pan much more.Will think about a menu short cut to a 100% zoom level. The 100% doesn’t make really sense cause type is set in point sizes related to the upm and other font metrics settings.
However you can set a short cut to a specific zoom with a script:from mojo.UI import CurrentGlyphWindow gw = CurrentGlyphWindow() # the scale value 1 is 100%, 2 is 200%, 0.5 is 50% gw.setGlyphViewScale(1)
Add an observer on a key down and set a zoom level when a specific key is pressed :)
good luck
Hi
its correct there is no “print” feature in RoboFont and I think it will never happen. Print out change for each design / project. The “Test Install” option is much more flexible. Make some templates in Indesign or whatever app you prefer, test install your working document and print from there.
This allows for example that your font in progress is been printed as a font and not as a collected vector drawings.
good luck!
RoboFont has not yet support natively for placing components with anchor support.
You can use
font.generateGlyph(....)to compile glyph with anchor placement.font = CurrentFont() font.generateGlyph("adieresis")good luck
If a tool is activated from the scripting window and not as an extension the easiest thing todo is to restart :)
double click the extension file again to de-install see http://doc.robofont.com/extensions/installing-extensions/
