Output.ttf nowhere to be found

Task reports success, but the output file is not on my hard drive anywhere. Ideas? Does it matter whether it is an icon font, such as fontawesome? Tried the default set (0-z), and a single extended character "fa-reorder" \f0c9, with same results.

    font_optimizer: {
      dist: {
        options: {
          // Characters to include
          chars: '\f0c9', //0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
          // Features to include.
          includeFeatures: ['kern']
        },
        src: ['assets/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf'],
        dest: 'assets/fonts/fontawesome-subset.ttf'
      }
    },

$ npm install grunt-font-optimizer --save-dev
grunt-font-optimizer@0.2.8 node_modules/grunt-font-optimizer

Quickly I'd guess that the package does not handle that specific character well. Have you tested with other fonts on your machine?

jehna commented 9 years ago

The Font Awesome currently uses a font table webf that is not supported by the font optimizer.

I opened the bug #8 to have a closer look of this issue

Thanks. Meanwhile, I was able to workaround this using the Advanced settings of FontSquirrel. This allowed me to encode the dozen or so needed glyphs as base 64 in my CSS.

Since I do not change glyphs frequently, this did not need automation in the project.

Same problem here with OpenSans-Bold.ttf (from Google): grunt-font-optimizer reports success but it does not generate any ttf file. TTF file can be downloaded from here: https://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Open+Sans

I have the same issue with another ttf font. Is there any update on this issue?

jehna commented 7 years ago

No updates yet. Would need to change the minifier to something else, as the development of the original minifier has stalled.
