Drawing glyphs from ufo file.

RafalBuchner

how to draw glyph of a UFO file in DrawBot outside RoboFont?
So far I came up with this solution, but I don't know what to do next:

from fontParts.world import *

basepath = os.path.dirname(__file__)
filepath = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(basepath, "..", "..", "UFOS/typeface-regular.ufo"))

f = OpenFont(filepath)
for g in f:
    newPage(1000,1000)
    p = g.getPen()
    # I don't know what should I put here

command drawGlyph(g) doesn't work, and I imagine, that it should work only inside of RoboFont.

Thanks for the help in advance

Hey,

Until this is integrated in the standalone version of Drawbot (fingers crossed), you could have a look at how drawGlyph() is defined within the RF Extension and reuse some of the code for your script.

@rafalbuchner This should work:

def drawGlyph(g):
    bez = BezierPath()
    g.draw(bez)
    drawPath(bez)
