SOLVED Test install error
-
Hello, I'm trying to test install a font and am running into the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/fontCompiler/tools/compileTools.py", line 279, in _executeCommand File "/Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.6/fontCompiler/tools/compileTools.py", line 322, in embedded_makeotf File "makeotf.py", line 2578, in runMakeOTF externalFrameworks.fdkTools.makeotf.MakeOTFRunError Could not write DSIG tables in font. Not a TrueType or OpenType font (not enough data) -------------------- -------------------- Installing Archa Light failed The file is not a recognized or supported font file format. -------------------- --------------------Any suggestions?
Cheers

Rock star. My tcarons and tbars had picked up the wrong (duplicate) unicodes from bad Glyphbuilder code. Cheers for that.

The problem seems to be this:
... multiple glyphs (tcaron,Tcaron) mapped to code <165>\n'...
This twitter thread talks about this issue.

Thanks for responding. I'm using RF 3.2. I tried a normal generate and it created an OTF font, but with zero bytes. The first time that I ran it the traceback had a number of individual letter instances about duplicate points, so I ran it again with "remove overlap" on. This time it again generated a zero byte OTF, but the trackback is a much more manageable:

Not a TrueType or OpenType font (not enough data)Fortunately the UFO file is still accessible so I haven't lost any work, but if I can't generate then it is a problem. I was wondering if perhaps creating a new blank UFO file and then just copying the glyphs into it would work?
At a loss.
Cheers

RoboFont was unable to generate a binary, could you try it with a normal generate and see the traceback. Weird the FDK traceback is not showing in your traceback.
What version of RF are you using?
