    Good evening Frederik,

    Thanks for the clarification, back to building my system!

    Jo, thanks for the script which I’ll use in the meantime.

    Frederik, thank you for listening and offering a built-in solution.

    Hey Jo,

    Thank you for your answer but I’d like to be able to only select components, which means in the case of a glyph with both parts (components and non components).

    Yep,

    Hello Dan,

    Now that you point it out, I remember reading it in the Version History. It’s very handy indeed.
    Only component related, how do you proceed if you want to select all components at once?

    Thank you for the very useful shortcuts!

    I’ve realised by using the Cmd-click to select component, that the pointer needs to be on top of the component, which often makes the component slightly move (in my experience). I’ve looked through the documentation but couldn’t find a shortcut to only select components. If this is useful to other users and if I’m not missing a trick, may I suggest Alt-click?

    Thanks for reading and listening.

    Just tested it, no need for luck with your scripts ;-)
    Thanks!

    I’ve found a case, when you move a tangent on-curve point, holding Cmd so that the off-curve point doesn’t move.

    Hi J,

    Have you used the “Test Install” feature, through the File Menu? That makes it easier than the steps you describe. No direct Print feature to my knowledge.

    Damn, without switching on Display Anchors, it’s hard to see them ;-)
    I think I’m set to switch and work mostly in RoboFont, thank you for your help Bruno.

    Hi Bruno,

    Many thanks for kindly sharing your script, which works very well. The Mask layer and its content are back into RoboFont.
    Looking at my translated file, I’ve just realised that the anchors (accents) are gone. I was expecting the anchors to fall into the category of “Glyphs Marks” when exporting to UFO. It seems again that RoboFont can’t see or display them. I’m guessing it because if I export to UFO from FLS and then import the very same UFO file, the anchors are there.

    Did you manage to get your FLS accent anchors into RoboFont?

    All the best,

    Mathieu

    Tonight I’ve decided to switch from FLS to RF. As I was testing the conversion, I noticed that Masks didn’t end up in RF. I searched the forum and found this post, unfortunately even after running your script, before using UFO Central to export as UFO, I can’t manage to see my Masks. “Format 2” and “Glyph Masks” boxes are checked.
    I’ve noticed that running the above script doesn’t seem to modify the .vfb file, or FLS doesn’t notice it, because I can close my font file without being prompted to Save.

    Yo,

    Thank you for the hint. Although I did some visual overall scaling and shifting in FLS, using a script, once I’ve found the right settings in RoboFont, I’ll manage to reimport all my images.

    Best

    Thank you again for your prompt answer. Yes, I suggest this feature.

    technote: The quotes you’re using get transformed in the email I receive and read in Apple Mail. In the forum, it looks good. Here’s how ‘alt’ looks on my side: ‘alt’

    Thanks a lot, it does the trick.

    Note to users: ## print them nicely means with a wordspace between each glyph. For proofing, I need to get rid of the space, so I simply removed it between the quotes:

    print " ".join(allGlyphs) → print "".join(allGlyphs)
