Install Robofab + Dependencies

Scripting
1

hello,

I was trying to install robofab + dependencies to glyphs.app for some scripts.
I tried it two ways, i found in turtorials (a) and on the glyps-website (b).

a) There are now the Dependencies in my Python-Subfolders by install scripts via terminal … But it doesn’t work. (i used the Vimeo Screencast about installing for FontLab5.1 and OSX Lion by Ben Kiel.)

b) Also the Glyphs-Website method … doesn’t work.

is there a reason? and s solution?

I’am using newest glyphs (1.4.3) and OS X 10.9.4

thanks a lot

Follow the installation instructions here to install vanilla, robofab, dialogkit and fonttools:
https://github.com/mekkablue/Glyphs-Scripts
Then put these into your Scripts folder:
https://github.com/schriftgestalt/Glyphs-Scripts

… and import objectsGS instead of robofab. That is the Glyphs wrapper for Robofab.

Thank you very much,
that was a very simple way.

Vanilla works fine, I’ve test it. (script)

But is there a possibility or command line to test RoboFab and the others?

import robofab
print robofab
