You can use the following example to comiple a font to a byte string without interrupting RoboFont.
import asyncio
from asyncFontCompiler.compile.compilerPool import compileUFOToBytes
from mojo.UI import Message
f = CurrentFont()
async def getFontData():
fontData = await compileUFOToBytes(f.path, None)
print(fontData)
Message("Done")
asyncio.create_task(getFontData())
