Hello everyone, I’m sort of new to this so please excuse my ignorance.
I have been struggling to export a monoline font with glyphs recently. After following lots of instructions here and via email with support, I decided to create a file from scratch with 3 glyphs only (basic shapes) and test it.
It seems like the file will only exports if I apply noodler as a filter. When I apply it as a custom parameter in instances, nothing happens, I export and get the spinning wheel for ever.
I’m applying the following:
Property: Filter
Value: Noodler; 1; 1; 1
What am I possibly doing wrong? I’m on version Version 2.6.6 (1352) on a Mac OS Big Sur 11.2
I’d really appreciate your help with this.
UPDATE: a colleague of mine created the same file, same values, and was able to export perfectly with custom parameters. I’ve looked into the modules I have, all 3 seem to be installed, nothing else differs.Could I be needed an extra plugin or script?
Thank you for this:
1 - tried disabling subroutine in instance, issue persists
2- hinting is already disabled
3- the font is only 1 character (A) for testing. The A has 3 nodes.
When I apply the noodler as a filter, it takes less than a second to export, just to put it in context. When I use custom parameter, even if I let it run for a couple of hours, nothing happens it gets stuck on the exporting font window with the wheel. I already uninstalled / reinstalled both glyphs and noodler. Not sure what else I can do…
It works for me a expected in versions 3.0.3 (3061) and 2.6.7 (1354) on Catalina. Can you send me your .glyphs file? I suspect there is something wrong with the setup.
Of course attaching it here. But it will probably work fine with you, just like my colleague was able to export no problem. I’m also attaching my settings / app preferences for you in case you need them.
Thanks so much for helping with this!
PS: I’m on Big Sur 11.2
I installed Brew first, then the modules via Glyphs preferences (vanilla, robofab, font tools + mekkablue). Should I have anything else on there?
Nothing happens in console as the wheel spins.
Any other suggestions? It worked on yours I assume?
I don’t have any exports unfortunately, the problem is that when I use custom parameters, i get the export window indefinitely (the spinning export popup). I even let it run overnight and nothing happened.
I’m on MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) (no M1 Chip)
2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
I’ve already uninstalled glyphs 2 and noodler and reinstalled both. Is there any other way to start this from scratch?
