Empty font properties. Cache?

slobzheninov

Hi! I’m running into what seems to be a bug: some font properties are not showing up as expected, even with this bare minimum code:

fontPath = '/...’
print(font(fontPath)) # returns the font name
print(listFontVariations(fontPath)) # returns variations
print(listNamedInstances(fontPath)) # None
print(listOpenTypeFeatures(fontPath)) # None

I’m using a script for proofing, and that started happening after some font re-exporting. What helps is moving the font into a different folder or restarting the laptop, but then it breaks again. Seems like a cache issue to me; is that a thing in Drawbot? Any recommendations please?

mm, strange... listNamedInstances must return a dict and listOpenTypeFeatures a list even if the font has no instances or features

could you provide a dummy font? (offlist: frederik@typemytype.com)

which version of DrawBot are you using?

is this happening inside the app or when you use DrawBot as a module?
