Autohint not working

RoxaneGataud

Hello,

I upgraded to Monterey OS and Robofont 4. I have issues with autohint which does not seem to operate while using Batch.

None of the glyphs are hinted,

        makeotfexe [WARNING] unhinted <A>
        makeotfexe [WARNING] unhinted <B>
        makeotfexe [WARNING] unhinted <C>
        makeotfexe [WARNING] unhinted <D>
        makeotfexe [WARNING] unhinted <E>

And I have this message in the report:


         autohint Report
        
        Traceback (most recent call last):

exError: list index out of range

I tried with different fonts, I have the same issues.
Do I have to install something to fix this problem ?

Thanks!

Batch generates fonts in two separate moments, first without autohint, then it autohints the font. The console log comes from the first part of the process :)

So, the non-issue is solved, Batch autohints your fonts if required!

frederik

mmm, could you send me the ufo file?

@frederik They are already set in font info

I guess from a quick look: you will need to feed it some blueValues...
