@stewf @fastmail Welcome to the club!

@paulvanderlaan ...that was the complete output.

Turns out it was an unnamed anchor in one of the glyphs.

@letterror Yeah, it's a frustrating error, and that's all it's telling me. It generates fine with Batch in Robofont and I can open it in Glyphs. Only fontmake is stumbling.

Does anyone have any idea why I would get the error: "Compiling UFO failed: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'"

I'm using fontmake.

@simoncozens @typedrawers Nor did I! I have no idea who/what is running it.

@jlarmstrongiv @theo @kentlew @paul_hanslow Hello and thank you all! Yes, I'm nearly recovered but I forgot to check the new applicants at TypeDrawers; I'll take care of it now.

Hot off the laptop, 'JTD Typewriter №6: Ultramega and Chapman in Use' was just sent out.

@tphinney Thanks! Yeah, it's not been great.

@onpaperwings @jasonsantamaria Thank you both! My energy level's slowly getting back to normal; I just can't shake this cough (and my ribs are killing me from coughing).

2025-05-04

Still recovering. Man, this has been rough.

@w__h_ Glad you clarified. There's a lot of situations where it's cheaper to commission a custom font instead of licensing an existing one—particularly if Monotype owns it.

Also, a lot of larger businesses prefer to work with larger businesses, even if it's to their own financial detriment.

My brain has been so fried since my infection. I feel like my writing, which is already pretty bad, has been horrible.

@morrick Thank you, I am!

Three medications and two antibiotics later and I'm still here! Lung capacity is still less than 100% and I get tired easier but I'm feeling much better.

I've been pretty quite on here over the last week because I've been dealing with Legionnaire's disease!

@colinmford I wonder how much Adobe's paying for that.

2025-04-08

@scottboms I can't wait to see it!
