Yet another old issue – this seems to have been a simple point compatibility problem. Some tools don’t flag an off-curve start point to be incompatible with a start point...

A workaround I am using for this is ``` for i in $(seq 0 29); do makeinstancesufo -v -i $i -d SourceSerif4.designspace; done ```

Somewhat related to #1153. -nga switches adherence to the GOADB _off_, so your result might be expected? If you want to apply glyph ordering, use `-ga` or `-r` for release...

That’s strange and indeed should not happen. Have you observed the same with e.g. UFO files?

You don’t have to use the Python interface to `makeotfexe` (don’t know how to do that, even). I suggested using UFO because they are free of any pre-determined glyph order...

I changed to glyph order in the UFO/PFA files to be `B A D C F E G`, while the GlyphOrderAndAliasDB stays the same. PFA: `makeotf` → `A B C...

Thanks for that note, I did not realize that was what you meant. Why exactly do you prefer typing `makeotfexe` over `makeotf` (just curious)? I will rename the title of...

It seems the branch version does indeed create fewer broken progress bars. It’s still possible to break them using `-v` (verbose) though. (Side note here: the `-v` output is very...

I don’t think it is possible to pass a text file, but making a long argument seems to work: ``` tx -pdf -g a,c,b my_font.otf > my_pdf.pdf ```

😂 That might be true! Since the `tx` PDFs are quite limited, I am curious about your goal. Have you considered using a tool like DrawBot to create your PDFs?
