[FIXED] Export/Install font hangs
[FIXED] Export/Install font hangs
Similar to another person's bug report, but this may provide more information. It appears to be repeatable.
Cancel also hangs.
The above also happens with Export Font.
If I close the dialogue, and try again... Close the dialogue by means of the X in the top right, and try again... Had to kill the process using the Task Manager.
I imagine there is something wrong with my font to cause this to happen.
My system: Windows 11 Pro (up-to-date, build 22621.ni_release.220506-1250)
RAM 32 GB
CPU 12-core
FontCreator 15 Professional
I will cooperate if you want me to provide logs etc. Just tell me what you want me to do.

Re: Export/Install font hangs
Do you still have this issue with this unofficial update?
https://www.high-logic.com/tmp/fontcrea ... 84-x64.exe
If so, then please send the font project to me, so I can try to reproduce the problem.

Re: Export/Install font hangs
The result was only slightly different with the unofficial update, as shown by the screen captures.
Export Font fails as before: Cancelling Export Font fails as before: Font Installation appears to fail as before... However, when I cancel the Installation, FontCreator recovers.
Attaching offending project file... Regards

Re: Export/Install font hangs
Thank you for sharing the font project.
We have found an issue in the exporter which causes an endless loop. We will fix it asap.

Re: Export/Install font hangs
Yes, thanks. That fixed the problem. Now I can get back to developing the font.
Excellent service!

Re: Export/Install font hangs
There have been a lot of bug fixes in the last official release on April 25th.
Is it time to update the Changelog?

Re: Export/Install font hangs
Almost, as there have been so many changes under the hood, we need to make sure we didn't brake any vital functionality...
Re: Export/Install font hangs
That's interesting.
The Changelog shows
Version 15.0.0.2974 (25 April, which is in the future)
and thanks to you, I now have
Version 15.0.0.2985, which I suppose is an unofficial release (beta ?).
If problems arise, I'll let you know.

Re: Export/Install font hangs
This is indeed an unofficial update.
The previous official release was a month ago.

Re: Export/Install font hangs
I think I may have stumbled upon an undesirable effect within the "Test Font" panel.
If I keep the panel window narrow, my developing font shows up as it should, but if I extend the window width, some lines change to a different font.
Similarly, if I start typing a new line of text, it looks correct at first, but at some point as the line length increases, it changes the whole line to a different font.
The problem seems to require that certain letters be included, specifically, f or j. In my font, these glyphs overlap the space of adjacent glyphs, which may or may not be significant.
In one experiment, exactly 34 f's or 34 j's were displayed correctly, but the 35th made the whole line change font.

Re: Export/Install font hangs
I forgot to say that the problem does not occur in Microsoft Word.
Re: Export/Install font hangs
It seems to have something to do with wrapping text.
I've also discovered that it doesn't just apply to f and j.
I hope this is helpful.
