Empty space in font preview window

[viterzbayraku]

Hello, Mark. I have question about a lot of empty space on top of preview window. It's ok? For me it's very unuseful and uncomfortable. Sorry )

Hi @viterzbayraku

this could be a scaling issue. That should be fixed with version 3.4.3 which is live already but Glyphs might need a moment to fetch the new version.

1. What is your plugin version?

• In the Glyphs Menu "Script" > "Open Scripts Folder"
• Next to that "Scripts" folder in the Finder is a "Repositories" folder
• In that "Repositories" folder, go to "variable-font-preview"
• In that folder right click on "Variable Font Preview X.glyphsReporter" and click "Get Info"
• The Info window will show a Version entry. That Version number is what I need

or run this in the Macro Panel and copy the output here as text

from AppKit import NSBundle
bdl = NSBundle.bundleForClass_(NSClassFromString("MFVariableFontPreviewX"))
print(bdl.objectForInfoDictionaryKey_("CFBundleShortVersionString"))

2. What monitor are you on?

3. Which UPM does your font have?

Thanks in advance

I'm the guy from the previous thread, and this issue is unfixed and unchanged for me in plugin version 3.4.3.

Another version is live: 3.4.4

👉 Please check once more with that version.

👉 In case Glyphs does not pull the latest version, you can force it by deleting the plugin file from the "Repositories" folder and and re-install from the Plugin Manager.

If it is still not fixed with version 3.4.4:

Would any of you mind to send me a font with that problem? @viterzbayraku @75th

You can make a copy of your font, delete all glyphs but one or two. If you want, remove some sensitive information from the font info.

I cannot reproduce it here so maybe your fonts can help debugging.

Thanks so much

The problem is fixed in the new version. Thank you!

For me as well! Thanks!

[Mark2Mark]

Thank you both so much for your help. This bug was haunting me ever since 👏 @75th @viterzbayraku

Hey @75th @viterzbayraku

Sorry for tagging you again. May I ask you to observe this scaling issue once more?

I made some big changes in version 3.4.5 which should be pulled soon (or force install it again as described above). These changes should hopefully not change anything for you to the worse again, but the code is way cleaner.

I hope you will still have the preview scaled nicely in all occasions.

Thanks so much in advance!

Note to self: first user reported via email, that it still works.

closing due to lack of response.

Reopen if needed, but comment your Glyphs and Plugin Versions, plus describing the issue again.
