This will also not work in robofab :)

You can check if a glyphName is in the font:

f = CurrentFont()

gname = "test"

if gname in f:
    print gname
else: #f[gname] not in f
    print "%s not in %s" %(gname, f)

good luck

If I understood it correctly your want to disable (grayed out) an option in a RadioGroup.

from vanilla import *

class Test:
    
    def __init__(self):
        
        self.w = Window((400, 400))
        
        self.w.allOptions = CheckBox((10, 10, -10, 22), "All Options", callback=self.allOptionsCallback)
        self.w.radioButtons = RadioGroup((10, 40, -10, 80), ["option 1", "option 2", "option 3"])
        
        self.w.radioButtons.getNSMatrix().cellAtRow_column_(2, 0).setEnabled_(False)
        
        self.w.open()
    
    def allOptionsCallback(self, sender):
        self.w.radioButtons.getNSMatrix().cellAtRow_column_(2, 0).setEnabled_(sender.get())
        
Test()

hope this helps

A list object does not have a prepareUndo preformUndo methods.

The best way is to tell each glyph while looping over all glyphNames to prepareUndo preformUndo

font = CurrentFont()
glyphNames = font.selection
if not glyphNames:
    glyphNames = font.keys()

for glyphName in glyphNames:
    glyph = font[glyphName]
    glyph.prepareUndo("myAction")
    # action start
    glyph.move((100, 100))
    # action end
    glyph.performUndo()

You can have multiple undo’s when selecting multiple glyphs in the Font Overview and hit ⌘-Z
Bundling undo states over several glyphs into one undo state isn’t possible cause each glyph has his own undo manager.

hope this helps

ah this seems only to be an issue on 10.6…..

Hi

I cannot reproduce this issue.
RoboFont version?
OS version?
Is there a transformation on the image?
Any image adjustment? (contrast, brightness,…)

Everything is depending on the font you want to use and the character unicode mapping inside that font.

you can use something similar:

## this is used internally to split inputted text to a list of glyph names based on the current font
from lib.UI.spaceCenter.glyphSequenceEditText import splitText
from robofab.interface.all.dialogs import AskString

## get some text
text = AskString("input")
print "input:", text

font = CurrentFont()

## the character map
cmap = font.getCharacterMapping()

## split the text based on the camp in to a list of glyph names
glyphNameList = splitText(text, cmap)

print "as glyph names list:", glyphNameList

## loop over the glyph names asks for their unicode value in the current font
## convert it back to text based on that unicode value
backToText = u""
for glyphName in glyphNameList:
    if glyphName in font:
        glyph = font[glyphName]
        if glyph.unicode is not None:
            backToText += u"%s" %(unichr(glyph.unicode))
        else:
            backToText += "/%s " %glyphName    
    else:
        backToText += "/%s " %glyphName

print "backtoText:", backToText

hope this makes sense.

You can install hTool2 with your local python install. RoboFont adds local site-packages to its own system path so you can use local installed packages.
