    Hi Martin

    swap will copy the glyph to the destination layer and clear the current layer
    flip will copy the glyph to the destination and copy from the destination layer back to the current layer

    as you already found out, thanks Jo

    inside a vanilla.Group everything the position relative to the parent vanilla.Group. You are using the colors_y value to set the TextBox and ColorWell inside a group that you add to a window.

    posted a fix here https://gist.github.com/roberto-arista/6b0dc3a7b46a874d56dd

    good luck

    I see

    part is already possible :)

    from lib.UI.kerningPreviewSheet import KerningPreview
    
    KerningPreview(CurrentFont().naked())
    

    I will also open the Group view and make them nicely available in mojo.UI so you don’t have to worry about the internal naked object.

    he Nina

    the next update will have a SpaceMatrix view in mojo.UI which is a simple wrapper around the internal view. Just to make it easier a bit more flexible (similar as the MultiLineView

    thanks

    Thanks Jens

    its seems to be a fontTools issue :)

    http://sourceforge.net/p/fonttools/code/ci/master/tree/Lib/fontTools/ttLib/tables/_g_l_y_f.py#l549

    it seems to recalculate the bounds from all points instead of analysing the bounds of the contour

    (this will be fixed in the next version…

    in reply to: show kerning values in Kern center #6076

    frederik
    Keymaster

    you can see kerning values in Space Center, not in Kern Center… (in the next update this will be embedded)

    to view kerning values enable “Show Metrics” and “Show Kerning”. When only “Show Kerning” is enabled Space Center will apply kerning to the input text but not show the value.

    hope this makes sense

    thanks

    euh, no idea…

    is there a traceback in the output window? or anything listed in the Console.app?
    Never have seen such black smart list and empty font overview.

    could start with removing the preference file “com.typemytype.robofont.plist” in your /Library/Preferences
    and log out or restart

    thanks

    He Jo

    Kern center is very low profile as Metrics Machine is much better at managing kerning.

    However, this is been added to the beta version, and will be present in the next update

    thanks

    He Luke

    when ‘Display Italic Angle’ is enabled RF will show slanted side bearings. When using those slanted side bearings it advised to set a proper ‘Slant Offset’, which is just a display option that shifts the glyph in the glyph view. (see font info > RoboFont tag)

    good luck!

    Thank you Frederik,
    already found a solution – one thing: should observers like “FontDidOpen” or “FontWillOpen” work with OpenFont(path, showUI=False).
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Luke
    I’ve split your unrelated question into a different topic see http://doc.robofont.com/forums/topic/split-opening-italic-otfs/

    when you open a font without a UI, your script knows when and where it did/will open, so you don’t need those notifications…
