.glyphs parsing failures #851

Open cmyr opened 2 weeks ago

cmyr commented 2 weeks ago

After running fontc on ~480 fonts hosted by google fonts, a full ~100 of them failed to compile due to errors while parsing .glyphs files.

so the first of these should be easy enough to solve, and the others are tbd (but I'm optimistic)

Two requests:

1) Document how to run on lots of fonts on the root index, it's a useful tool 2) Capture specific examples, e.g. clone this repo and build this file. Ideally the crater-esque run would report that.

Did you happen to run ttx_diff on the ~380 that did compile? - would be very interested in our starting position for both how many compile and how many pass so we can see the improvement over time.
