Dear Users,

We are happy to announce the release of RoboFont 4.6! As always this version introduces numerous new features, substantial improvements, and lots of bug fixes. Below is a highlight of the most important updates:

  • Previewing UFO files will never be as nice with the brand new quicklook and thumbnail plugin supporting your precious drawings in MacOS Finder.

  • A new kern toggle button is added to visualize clearly if kerning is activated. This changes goes together with a new redesign of the Space Center display options as a popover.

  • RoboFont got a nice little squircle icon!
  • Clear distinction between all possible point types: corner points, tangent points and curve points. A tangent point is a point where a curve and a line segment smootly connects. A curve point is a point where a curve and a curve segment smoothly connects.

  • On the first launch of RoboFont users will be friendly prompted to install Mechanic, a RoboFont extension to manage all your extensions.

  • Having lot and lots of extensions installed is super, this release helps you to enable/disable some extensions you still want to keep but are not necessary to be installed during every launch.

  • Option double click to convert curves back to lines

Check the release notes for a more detailed overview of all the changes and enjoy!
