Rather than hijack
this thread ("Robofont Harmonizer"), I decided to spawn another, albeit highly similar, one. RMX Harmonizer gets an awful lot of praise and its results are fscking fabulous, but it's commercial, expensive and requires some expensive software and hardware to host it. Any options?

As for FF, the only feature I think it actually lacks is the ability to always show node positions, and that's purely a preference thing (it's a real drag having to go to the View menu over and over).
Please post a gist of your script and I can take a look Maybe https://github.com/davelab6/fontforge-anthozoa/blob/master/Anthozoa.py#L411-L416 can help
You mean like the node position co-ordinates, like this?
Nodes and handles, yes. (The on- and off-curve points; I'm probably misusing the terms.) I can get some of that through Number Points -> Positions, but it doesn't show the positions of the handles, and once you change anything, the position display is lost.
Anyway, this is just my own preference. I've never found an editor that gives me that kind of info and control (although ISTR the demo of FontLab having it, lo these many years ago), so it's clearly not a feature anybody else finds desirable or relevant.
I filed https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues/2485 and https://github.com/mattlag/Glyphr-Studio/issues/213 - defconqt's issue tracker isn't public yet.
