Font version in font info

Glyphs
#1

hello,

is there a reason why the version number of my font is:
Version 1.001;PS 001.001;hotconv 1.0.70;makeotf.lib2.5.58329 DEVELOPMENT
When I just put 1.001 in the font info window?

and, by the way, can I put 1.1 instead of 1.001?

Thanks

Sylvain

The long string is what makeOTF puts in there.

1.1 would be 1.100 (one hundred in the second field).

#3

Ok, so there’s no way to remove it?

#4

No way that does not include ttx or OTMaster.

#5

I wouldn’t remove it. InDesign reads the version info, and thus, can deal with known errors in specific AFDKO versions.

#6

more importantly, ow do you remove this part:

PS 001.001;hotconv 1.0.70;makeotf.lib2.5.58329

?

#7

As mekkablue said, you do not remove it.

Hey Georg, so seriously, to get a clean »Version 1.000« in the Version field buying the DTL OTMaster for 255€ (apart from ttf) is the only way?

#9

I try to fix that asap. For not either OTMaster or TTX (that is free but command line).

much appreciated!

Hello,
I’m generating a Regular, SemiBold and Bold from my MM File. For some reason I can not see a Version number in the Regular and Bold, where in the SemiBold it shows the Version number.

Any ideas?

#12

where do you “see” the version numbers?

#13

When I’m in the finder and by clicking on the font file, it shows the file info like Name, Kind, Size … and Version.

for example:
Version 1.004;PS 001.004;hotconv 1.0.70;makeotf.lib2.5.58329

#14

It works now, I don’t know why as I haven’t changed anything really!

Thanks anyway!

Finder does a lot of caching, and sometimes the Info is not up to date.
