(Windows10) Full path problem

[SlashNetUA]

I get an error when using full paths to files in Windows 10

monobit-convert D:\Soft\_Tools_\Font\setfont-ibm.yaff D:\Soft\_Tools_\Font\33.png

ERROR: 'D:\\Soft\\_Tools_\\Font\\setfont-ibm.yaff' is not in the subpath of '\\' OR one path is relative and the other is absolute.

Thanks! Which version of monobit are you using? Asking because I fixed a similar error occurring on all OSes for the latest release.

You can use monobit --version to get the version string. Latest is 0.45.0

Could you try rerunning the command that caused the error with the debug flag and post the output here? It'll give a stack trace helping to find the error.

Thanks again Rob

That's strange. I updated yesterday and the utility updated only to version 0.43.

pip install monobit

monobit-convert --version monobit v0.43

python.exe --version Python 3.11.5

[robhagemans]

I just checked, it looks like 0.44 and 0.45 get silently skipped by pip because of a dependency issue with yenc (possibly just a wrong package name).

I'll have to fix the dependencies and re-upload, sorry.

[robhagemans]

I've uploaded v0.45.1 with fixed dependencies - I was able to install it with pip. Please give it a try and let me know if it fixed the issue

Thanks!

Hi! I upgraded to 0.45.1, but it got worse. Any run of the program generates the same error: :(

[robhagemans]

Thanks for the stack trace. This is actually a different issue as the newer version tries to leverage libarchive to support more archive formats. But it seems libarchive-c doesn't gracefully fail when it can't find the dll, and it doesn't come preinstalled on Windows.

I'll need to put some code to deal with errors in external libraries.

[robhagemans]

I've uploaded a 0.45.2 that hopefully works around this issue.

[SlashNetUA]

It's better now, but converter still didn't work. :(

Apologies, I didn't seem to have run the tests correctly on that change, will need to redo that one

[robhagemans]

OK, another try with 0.45.3. At least this one works locally :)

[SlashNetUA]

Sorry. But still doesn't work. :(

[robhagemans]

Libarchive is not what's causing this error though (I think you can get rid of the first error message with pip uninstall libarchive-c) - this is some issue wher eyour setup imports fontTools in a different way than mine, weirdly.

Another try with v0.45.4. Since I don't see the issue on my setup, at this point I'm just guessing though.

[SlashNetUA]

Finally it working! Big thanks! :)

How about adding another .fnt format for export/import (from Elan Enterprise 64/128k)? It's quite simple, but there are some subtleties.

[robhagemans]

Hi @SlashNetUA, great to hear it's fixed now.

Do you have a specification/other information and sample files for the Elan Enterprise .fnt format? I can have a look.
