Export doesn't work anymore– no error message (since last update?!)

Glyphs
1

Hello,

the export of OTF files isn’t possible – Glyphs (Version 2.6.1 (1230)) act like it is exporting (showing the export-window) but after my folder is still empty, without any error message. After I tried to export once, the export window doesn’t appears anymore (until I restart the app) It just happen nothing.

The problem appeared the first time since the last update. I also tried to export fonts from older glyphs files to exculde that I cause that problem. But that also doesn’t work – so it wasn’t me. (think so) – If it would solve that case I would like to downgrade Glyphs, is it possible?

Please help me – it is very important for me because I have to deliver the exported font very soon (better tonight) :S aarrrg

Thank you & best regards

Do you get any error message?

Can you send me the .glyphs file?

The old version should still be in the trash.

I have exported a number of fonts already with 2.6.1, so I assume it is a local problem. Outdated plug-in perhaps? What happens in the Console.app? Any error messages in Window > Macro Panel?

4

The only Message I receive »Einige Glyphen sind nicht kompatibel und werden leer exportiert«
But I’m used to that, and that’s not the problem I think.

I’will send you my file – to which address?

5

oh no, stupid me, I already empty the trash :frowning:

I will checked the plug-ins and the console and while just opening the app:
AEGetDescData of non-desc type ‘reco’ not a good idea

while exporting this happens:
errors encountered while discovering extensions: Error Domain=PlugInKit Code=13 “query cancelled” UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=query cancelled}

Don’t know if something with my plug-ins is wrong? But everything is up to date

It will be labeled with Glyphs if it is Glyphs-related. You can type Glyphs in the search field in the top right.

In the meantime, his was the last build before the new makeotf version was implemented:

I will try to use your glyphs version, thank you for your super fast answers!

Looks like a problem with a plug-in.

Can you open that error message that says errors encountered? It will give youa hint as to which plug-in causes trouble.

I have tried to export OTF too and it does not work for me. I see no error messages and I have changed the family name of the font from font info now it works.

10

I can open the error message – but there is just the same message with no more information.
I already delete all plug-ins and now I will try to delete each extension one by one.
BTW – I tried it with Glyphs2.6.1-1220 but this also wasn’t working :frowning:

doesn’t work for me :frowning: thanks nevertheless

Now I deleted everything, I also restart the computer and the app. The console still showing:

  1. What happens if you click on Glyphs > Preferences > Addons > Plugins > Check for updates
  2. Does it work if you start the app with Option and Shift held down? (Disables plug-ins)
  3. Does it work if you empty out the Temp folder? Script > Open Scripts Folder, then navigate Temp, delete all its contents.

Hey,

I tried all your steps. (first and secound without results)
But after I empty the temp folder, after the export failed again, I checkt the temp folder and I saw that the export stopped after exporting the first weights (instances).
Thats why I tried again to export fonts from older files ( this time without any problems) – so it looks like that my current file is broke.
But I still have no idea how to fix it. Can I send you my file, please?

15

the error message in the console is probably unrelated.

16

OK. Can you please send me the .glyphs file to support (at) (this website without www). I will have a look.

For the record: the features were outdated, and makeotf aborted the export. But no error message was displayed inside Glyphs. Pressing the Update button in File > Font Info > Features fixed the issue.
