Odd Skateboard / DesignSpaceEdit (recently updated)

  • GregThompson

    Something odd with:
    Skateboard 1.6.4. Sliding the mouse up in Skateboard Space window does what sliding down used to do, and the window elements are much reduced in size. (attached image)

    DesignSpaceEdit 1.9.5 after using Skateboard 1.6.4 the axis values are deleted from my Sources in my designspace file.

    Thanks Frederik

    The failure to generate instances began when I added 73 new glyphs, though Skateboard continued to work and fonts would generate. I appreciate any help.
    This is the traceback when DesignSpaceEdit fails to generate instances:

    and glyph.unicodes must the same across your sources

    @GregThompson If you want to make variable fonts the groups should match. The pairs don't have to match.

    @GregThompson Looking into it.

    Sent via email.

    Is it required to have matching kerning and kern groups across the ufos in a design space?

    Could you send over some (dummy) UFO+designspace examples?

    One of the times I made a new designspace file for my six variable master poles, the Problems sheet listed kerning groups and glyph details that didn't match, for example anchors in some ufos' glyphs but not others. Clearly there's a lot going on with DesignSpaceEdit. Version 1.9.5 will not generate instances and keeps losing ufo source axes values.

    I made a new design space file and attempted to generate several instances, which failed. This is the traceback:
