<p dir="ltr">Boom!!!</p></div><div dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">> Import module is working for ttf files</p>
</div><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Sweet! Do you convert tt outlines to cff?</p></div><div dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">> Export module is working with fontmake</p>
</div><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Great </p>
<p dir="ltr">> Activation/Deactivation module is done</p>
<p dir="ltr">Awesome. Is the star button fixed? </p></div><div dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">> I started adding making changes to the UI for "creating a new font" but ended up adding a lot more around it, I'll make a blog post about it later<br>

</div><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Looking forward to it :)</p></div><div dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">> what I plan to do next:<br>

</div><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Yes!</p></div><div dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">> for importing UFO files Trufont asks for a link to the metainfo.plist file which has an "application/x-plist" MIME type, so also going to use that</p>
</div><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Sounds good enough for a first pass. I think in the second round, ufoz makes more sense, then its a single file. Additionally, we could get Sugar to understand nextstep bundles but its a rathole. </p></div><div dir="ltr">

<p dir="ltr">> Similarly, what all info for creating a new glyph?</p>
</div><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Just a glyph name. </p><p dir="ltr">Please file an issue for a second round that the input should allow a space separated list of names to create a bunch at once, if this is not easy for you to add in the first round (ie, tomorrow)<br></p>
<p dir="ltr">Then, you can guess unicode values from the names using <a href="https://github.com/LettError/glyphNameFormatter/" target="_blank">https://github.com/LettError/glyphNameFormatter/</a> - and else when the code can't guess, leave it blank. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Please file an issue for the someday/later milestone to add some UI for checking the encoding of glyphs and correcting them. </p>
