The UFO editor of your dreams
New extension on RoboFont Mechanic
⚓ Anchor Dropper ⚓
- Set up one or more typical and reusable anchor-adding workflows for getting a solid headstart on anchor placement. Based around your font’s dimensions.
- Import/export extension prefs for use later on a per-project basis. Even get your setup started from a glyphConstruction file.
- Bulk remove anchors by name, remove duplicates.

I enjoy improving the little tools I use everyday.
Which means that the RamsaySt RoboFont extension now has
* better support for assigning empty neighbors
* better import/export procedure
* better z-index logic

Hurray @RoboFont Extensions!
LTR Very Bauble ❤️ Longboard and @RoboFont! Imagine this is a long academic post about how building your own tools enables new ways of working that lead to shiny new work. Now imagine you read this, you know this old horse. But it's remarkable how it remains true. Also, at this moment, maybe you just want to look at something pretty because hell.
Longboard for RoboFont, on Mechanic. I've fussed about this before, and it took a lot longer, but there it is. Designspace navigation in the glyph editor. Measuring, testing. Oh, fast as well. Free, bite me. @RoboFont #designspace #variablefont #typedesign #editors
