Resizer: variable font files: unable to load valid file names

Open softlion opened this issue 3 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug

When you download font from https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Open+Sans you have the choice to use a "variable" font file.

"variable" font files contains alternative axes. Foe ex: wdth wght This is more practical than to use many static font files to get BOLD, MEDIUM etc ...

Both android 12+ and iOS 11+ support variable font files.

Example of a valid file name: OpenSans-Italic-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf

When you add that file to the Fonts folder, resizer crashes.

1>Microsoft.Maui.Resizetizer.After.targets(568,17): Error MSB4186 : Invalid static method invocation syntax: "[System.IO.Path]::GetFileName(obj\Debug\net10.0-android\android-x64\resizetizer\f\OpenSans-VariableFont_wdth,wght.ttf)". Method 'System.IO.Path.GetFileName' not found. Static method invocation should be of the form: $([FullTypeName]::Method()), e.g. $([System.IO.Path]::Combine(`a`, `b`)). Check that all parameters are defined, are of the correct type, and are specified in the right order.

When you rename the file, resizer continues to crash. Until your clean and rebuild.
