You mean white overlaps that were created with Open Corner?
Yes, there is:

How to detect an outside open corner

Got it thanks~! Glyphs.clearLog() from GlyphsApp import GSPathPen thisLayer = Font.selectedLayers[0] layerPaths = [l for l in thisLayer.paths] thisLayer.paths = [] for eachPath in layerPaths: pen = GSPathPen.alloc().init() eachPath.drawInPen_(pen) eachPath = pen.layer().paths eachPath = eachPath[0] thisLayer.addPath_(eachPath)

hi @Miles_Newlyn @mekkablue
seems to be a hot topic!

Request: close "open outside corners" when exporting UFO

You could build that code into a plug-in and run it as a PreFilter at export.

[GeorgSeifert]

This is currently not possible by script. To do just that. You can run the outline through a GSPathPen. That would ‘remove’ corner components, too.

What do you need it for?

Hi @GeorgSeifert , excuse my jumping in: I’m interested in the same function. I need this to export UFO’s without the outside corners having turned visible, so they can be worked with in Metrics Machine.

Count me in. Is it hard to have an option while exporting or saving in UFO format to close just open outside corners?
