TypeFacet-RoboFont

A collection of free and open-source robofont extensions and scripts.

Distributed as the TypeFacet-RoboFont extension

Scripts

RFMergePointsNotUpdatingControlPoints

RFMergePointsUpdatingControlPoints

Scripts that merge the selected points in the current glyph into a single point.

• Only straight segment and bezier curve end points can be selected as inputs, not bezier control points.
• The "UpdatingControlPoints" version also updates adjacent control points.

RFCleanupSelectedGlyphContours

RFCleanupAllGlyphContours

Scripts that clean up glyph contours.

• Removes straight segments within contours that have the same start point and end point.
• Converts bezier curves to straight segments if their control points are the same as their endpoints (a trivial case of straightness).

TODO

This script could do a lot more.

• It could convert all straight curves to straight segments (not just the trivial case).
• It could remove empty bezier curves, not just empty straight segments.

Also, it'd be nice to add a progress bar as it is fairly slow.

RFAlignGlyph

Palette to facilitate re-aligning entire glyphs.

RFSelectEntireContours

Selects all points in a contour if any point in that contour is selected.

RFAlignAllTangents

RFAlignAllTangentsCurvify

RFAlignSelectedTangents

RFAlignSelectedTangentsCurvify

Aligns tangents so that incoming and outgoing tangents of points are parallel.

• The "Selected" versions only updates selected endpoints.
• The "Curvify" versions convert straight segments to cubic bezier curves.
