Scale Fast Extension not launching.

[guidoferreyra]

Any idea why Scale Fast is not launching? Nothing appears on the console. Im on Yosemite and Robofont last build.

[EDIT] Apparently Scale Fast launched but with a big delay, and breaking the UI of Robofont. Some fields and boxes turn transparent. see the image. The same happens with the UI in Scale Fast

[loicsander]

This is strange. Did you try with different fonts (in order to determine if the problem comes from reading the fonts or directly from the UI)?

[guidoferreyra]

Yes I've tried with several files including open source ufos like Source Serif. Perhaps I missing a library? Python Version?

[guidoferreyra]

This is the output in the log.

@guidoferreyra does this output refer to Source Serif? Source Serif was hinted with the FDK's autohint, and the glyphs in the processed layer have lib elements like this,

  <lib>
    <dict>
      <key>com.adobe.type.autohint</key>
      <data>
        <hintSetList id="w600l232367255440276512c297588l301588321512343440c366367l397267l201267l320l1170l180200l418200l4800l5680l347656l253656">
          <hintset pointTag="hintSet0000">
            <hstem pos="21" width="-21" />
            <hstem pos="200" width="67" />
            <hstem pos="588" width="68" />
            <vstem pos="32" width="536" />
          </hintset>
        </hintSetList>
      </data>
    </dict>
  </lib>

which is illegal, according to the UFO spec. We know about it, and this is scheduled to be changed. In the meantime, I think you'll need to remove the com.adobe.type.autohint data from the glyph's lib.

Thank you for the log Guido, I’ll look into it as soon as I have a spare moment.

[uebele]

Same happens to me, I’m also on Yosemite and last Robofont build.

[guidoferreyra]

@miguelsousa no this log isn't from Source Serif. Now, I'm trying with Loic's Fengardo Redux but in Yosemite, the window doesn't appear and the log is empty.

[loicsander]

I may have found the reason of this issue. Latest commit is an attempt at fixing it, you can try it out by updating.

[uebele]

still not working, sorry.

[loicsander]

Ok, new attempt. 4cf06f129828634c2b61726dec2a1c04b475c47c

[uebele]

It’s launching now! However, it’s not calculating any stems and when checking/unchecking the masters it crashes.

[guidoferreyra]

IT WORKS!! But partially. The masters checkboxes don't check and uncheck visually, but works. Also there is some small glitch in other checkboxes they disappear when marked. the right panel presents the first issue of transparent fields.

I'm comparing with the video on vimeo to note what other thing probably isn't working.

I'm in Yosemite.

[loicsander]

Small victory then. It’s tricky to try and figure out what goes wrong when I don’t see the problem, and it is even more strange that it happens differently although we seemingly have the same setup.

I’ll keep digging.

[guidoferreyra]

Great, tell me how can I help you. Screenshots, video, etc El jun 24, 2015 12:57 PM, "Loïc Sander" notifications@github.com escribió:

[loicsander]

The blank fields are crashed vanilla List, and that’s what I’m working on. The checkbox part might be something else…

[guidoferreyra]

apparently, everything works fine for me. I will keep you posted.

[loicsander]

Cool, let me know if it holds.

[uebele]

yes, works fine for me too, thanks a lot!
