I've been using the Threshold Pen script (
http://robofab.com/howto/usepens.html) from Robofab for many years happily via FontLab but my workflow has changed to Glyphs and I'd like to use the exact same script in Glyphs.
While I'm aware of similar tools for Glyphs, I'd like to hire somebody to port this expressly to Glyphs so I can run it on the entire font rather just individual characters.
I'm also happy to OpenSource it for the community since it's a great script and if there is interest by the developer and the community. Feel free to message me directly or reply to this thread.

@Georg Seifert - Yes I tried the Delete Short Segments script with Rainer but found it worked very differently and had a different result.
That said, if I launch the Macro panel and paste the script in, it's not running but I'm not sure where to download the updated 'fix' from that does get it running. FWIW, Robofab is not currently installed on this machine, so I'm not sure what assets I need to install in order to run the entire script.
The latest install instructions I found were from 2013 for OS X 10.7 and located here:
Since I'm on 10.12 and it seems Robofab has been replaced with FontParts, it's unclear to me what should be installed. http://robofont.com/documentation/building-tools/toolkit/robofab-fontparts/
Any suggestions are welcome and I'm sure your answers to me will help other folks in the future who find this thread.
Which build version of Glyphs are you using? Mine is 1146.
That said, if you have installed them in your scripts folder, maybe remove them so outdated versions are not used accidentally.
I got the thresholdGlyph script to work now by changing some Glyphs Python API stuff. I submitted that to Georg and it will probably part of the next cutting edge build. Until then you could try this code:
I may have to wait until the next cutting edge build, but here's the error I'm now seeing regardless if I install the GSPen or objectGS scripts.
Maybe we should move this discussion to the Glyphs forum or the GlyphsSDK repository.
