Hi wonderful hive mind,
I can’t get my font to update after I export it more than once. I’m using Glyphs 3, Big Sur 11.6, and the latest Adobe update (mostly AI and IND).
Neither “Test install” nor saving to the Fonts folder I created are working. After I export my font for the first time, I can find it in my Adobe programs and it works. BUT, when I make updates and export again, the export says it’s successful but the updates don’t appear in Adobe unless I quit and reopen. As I say, it doesn’t update regardless of which export method I use.
The testing function DID work flawlessly for me until I upgraded to Glyphs 3 last week. In Glyphs 2, when there wasn’t a test install function, I was using the export to Fonts folder method and it was seamless.
I’ve tried the following tips that I’ve seen in this forum:
• deleted and recreated the Fonts folder in the proper location
• restarted my computer holding Shift, then restarted again
• removed the font from my computer then tried again
• used Terminal to paste the code I found here: Eliminating Font Cache Problems | Glyphs then restarted
I am having trouble using the pasted script trick from that same article because I don’t seem to have a Scripts folder in my library! If this is the issue, can I just create that folder myself? (I would be very surprised if this is the issue, though, since, as I say, the testing function worked when I was using Glyphs 2 up until a week ago!)
Thank you in advance!
Molly
