"SelectGlyph" raises an error

[Bahman Eslami]

I use following code in FL 5.1 in MacOSX 10.5.8 and Python 2.5, I got
no dialog box, but an error.

code:
from robofab.world import CurrentFont
from robofab.interface.all.dialogs import SelectGlyph

f = CurrentFont()
if f is not None:
print SelectGlyph(f, "select a glyph")


Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
File "/Users/Bahman/code/RoboFab/Lib/robofab/interface/all/
dialogs_default.py", line 62, in SelectGlyph
raise NotImplementedError
NotImplementedError


what's the problem?
thanks in advance,
Bahman

Too many versions and too many bugs.

I don' t have 10.5.8 and py 2.5 to test, but you could try this:

from robofab.world import CurrentFont

f = CurrentFont()

from robofab.interface.all.dialogs_legacy import SelectGlyph

SelectGlyph(f)

Just for kicks, could you run this in the Macro window as well and post the results?

from robofab.interface.all.dialogs import test

test()

Cheers!
