    You probably need to observe any or all of these events:

    fontBecameCurrent(font)
fontResignCurrent(font)
currentGlyphChanged()

    and react by changing the CurrentFont accordingly in your controller.

    Hi Frederik,

    maybe I wasn’t clear, I didn’t change the content of RoboFont.app in 10.6 or 10.8, but I just made a link to the robofont-internal python 2.7 on 10.6:

    ln -s RoboFont.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/

    Maybe that wasn’t even necessary.

    There is no output in the scripting window when the crash occurs. In the console, there’s this message:

    01.03.13 10:24:29,828 com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[161]: ([0x0-0x6d76d7].com.typemytype.robofont[26306]) Job appears to have crashed: Segmentation fault: 11

    And I’ve attached the crash log.

    Ah, sorry I was blind, I didn’t find the “Transform Components” setting in the transform panel ;) Great!

    Interesting question … Do you use your own routines for outline conversion to quadratic beziers, or are there existing libraries perhaps in the FDK?

    I moved all extensions out of the plugins folder and checked that there are no startup scripts executed.

    Still the traceback appears. BTW I’m on 10.8.2.

    Can you reproduce it? E.g. when I open /Library/Fonts/Verdana.ttf, the message appears on all glyphs as far as I can see. (Just to give a system font example, but it also happens with OTF and PostScript-UFOs.)

    Nope, just one glyph window. It also happens right after starting RF, on the first double-click on one of the affected glyphs.

    Thanks Frederik, the script solution sounds fine. Just one problem, the glyph windows has no method setGlyphViewScale ;) Maybe I’ll have to wait for the next Robofont release?

    Your arguments sound sensible. Maybe I just should just try to keep a glyph window open constantly. That will preserve the zoom level when double-clicking on a different glyph. I have the habit to close and re-open glyph windows all the time, this led to the confusion.

    Hi Frederik, there seems to be a way to put floating point coordinates in OTFs, because Glyphs does it when you turn off the rounding to upm grid there. I verified with ttx that the font actually contains floating point coordinates, and ttx has no problem decompiling and compiling such a font again.

    That being said, is it possible at all to generate fonts with floating-point coordinates with Robofont?
