RoboFont 4.3 ↩
Dear users,
RoboFont 4.3 is mature enough to be shared with you all! As usual, lots of bug fixes, user interface improvements, and a few adjustments on the APIs. Here’s the list with the most important updates:
-
FontTools has moved to DesignSpaceDocument v5. Tools like Batch and Skateboard work with the new format, but they do not support discrete axes.
-
Add support for ctrl ⌃ + alt ⌥ + delete to completely remove a glyph from a UFO (including layers, kerning and groups).
-
Keep unsaved glyphs into account while testing external changes. It avoids loosing data not saved on disk when reverting.
-
Add support for dark mode and new toolbars on macOS 11 and 12.
