RoboFont ● Custom label in glyph cells

scripting

This example shows how to draw inside the glyph cells of the Font Overview.

The script opens a dialog containing a button to add or remove a ‘label’ to the selected glyphs in the Font Overview.

The state of this ‘label’ is stored in a custom key in the glyph lib. When the Font Overview is refreshed, a small rectangle is drawn inside the cells of all glyphs which have this value set to True.

When the dialog is closed, the observer is removed and the labels are cleared.
