Adobe FDK autohint broken on MacOS 10.9.4 #7

Closed mundschenk-at closed 6 years ago

mundschenk-at commented 10 years ago

A run with "autohint=adobe" failed to do any autohinting. A quick test with the command line parameters in the script gave this result:

autohint -q -o foobar-Calendas_Plus.otf Calendas_Plus.otf Hinting font Calendas_Plus.otf. Start time: Mon Aug 18 23:32:15 2014.

Autohinting using the adobe tool is really broken (I was maybe using a previous version?) -- I am not sure if I want to fix it or not, since if I recall it didn't seem to add anything really beneficial compared to ttfautohint (which is free anyways).

May close this in a few days after I investigate.

Adobe autohinting works directly with .otf files - that's the main benefit AFAIK.

Will not be fixing this, since the Adobe tool is not very easy to work with.
