Robofont build system for Sublime Text

Do you dislike the script editor inside Robofont? Ever wanted to run python scripts from sublime and make them executed inside Robofont? Download this file and put it inside the following folder:

Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User

Before you use the Build system make sure you have installed Robofont as shell command by going to Robofont Preferences > Extensions > Shell and click on the install button. To make sure that it's installed correctly write robofont in the terminal and hit return. For Robofont shell command to work correctly you probably need to install PyObjC in terminal using pip3.

Now if you choose Robofont from Tools > Build System inside sublime, after you run the script using <Cmd+b>, the code will execute inside the RF. Smooth!

Small but important final step: you must save the scripts you make in Sublime before you try to run them.

Otherwise, you will probably get something like the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/robofont", line 37, in <module>
    elif arg[0] == '-':
IndexError: string index out of range
[Finished in 0.4s with exit code 1]
[cmd: ['robofont', '-p', '']]
[dir: /Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS]
[path: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Public:/opt/X11/bin]

@typoman this is awesome, by the way!

Do you happen to know if there's a way to get robofont's output (e.g. from print() statements) in the Sublime output panel?

You're welcome Stephan. For the output thingy you can upvote the feature request here:
