Slanter double and triple slanting components

@gferreira Just a note — all unicode information was deleted in creating the new font.

Thank you, @gferreira! All set now.

@JustJoeDesign thanks for the feedback, happy to hear it works.

the error message should be fixed now too (please download and install again).

this font probably contains a broken component reference, or a component to an empty glyph. the script below will help you find it.

font = CurrentFont()
for glyph in font:
    if len(glyph.components):
        for component in glyph.components:
            if not component.bounds:
                glyph.markColor = 1, 0, 0, 1
                print(glyph.name, component.baseGlyph)

cheers!

@gferreira This did work for 4 of my 5 fonts... this is the error message I am getting on the one outlier:

/Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python37.zip/lib/fontObjects/pens/decomposePointPen.py:13: DeprecationWarning: 'transformation': DecomposePointPen does not require that argument.

I even tried de-installing and re-installing but with no luck. Is there possibly something weird/wrong with my font file then?

JustJoeDesign

This works perfectly now. Thank you, @gferreira!

@JustJoeDesign thanks. I think this one is fixed now – can you please try again?

This is what the Output Window is saying:

hi @JustJoeDesign, thanks for trying it out.

is there any error message in the Output Window (⌥ ⌘ O) or in the Console Log (⌥ ⇧ ⌘ O) ?

JustJoeDesign

Hi @gferreira thank you for looking at this. I have tried using the extension straight from the link you sent and when I choose new font it stalls when Generating Shifters. I did clear out the extension from Mechanic and restart. Any ideas?

gferreira

hello @JustJoeDesign, thanks for the bug report.

I think I’ve fixed it for the New Font button, it’s here if you would like to give it a try.

a fix for the Apply Glyphs & Mechanic update coming soon…

cheers!
