As part of a change in the release process, RoboFont offers beta versions to make the development process more transparent, and make important bug fixes more quickly available to users.

A first public Beta version of RoboFont 3.2 is now available from the Downloads page.

Main changes in this version:

  • big speed improvement when generating font binaries
  • better error handling when validating extensions
  • improve loading extensions which require other extensions (load required extensions first)
  • use allFonts as keyword in SelectFont dialog
  • added a pop-up window to copy metrics when copying between layers
  • several bug fixes!
  • Update of internal packages.

Newer 3.2 Beta builds will become available on the website as they are released.

Special thanks to all beta testers & users for their precious feedback and feature requests.

Enjoy!
