Unable to Create or Edit Fonts - SLS V1.3.3

What do you want to achieve?

I want to create and edit existing fonts in my existing SLS project. This functionality worked perfectly fine before on SLS V1.3.2.

What have you tried so far?

So far I have attempted to reload the TTF file into assets, but nothing happens when I press create in the Font Manager SLS tab. Nothing appears to happen in the SLS console when clicking the “Create” button under the Font Manager SLS tab either. When attempting to modify an existing Font, it will delete it entirely.

  • SquareLine Studio version: 1.3.3
  • Operating system: Mac OS Sonoma 14.2 (M1 Pro)
  • Target hardware: ESP32-S3

Edit

Works perfectly when opened using Rosetta, must be a Apple ARM processor issue only.

I can confirm this bug. I have the same problem on MacBooks (M2 and M1 Pro)

I also encountered the bug. Thanks for the tip to open using Rosetta, that also worked for me.

I’m able to use Rosetta, generate the fonts, then uncheck the option and my generated fonts were still present and export works fine. Seems like you only need to enable Rosetta to generate the fonts, not to use them.

I’m guessing that studio executes the font generator application in the background and something goes wrong with the process on ARM.

I started studio from the command line to see if there was any error messages about missing binary or something, but there were not. I suppose I could debug with Xcode and watch syscalls, but haven’t gotten that ambitious yet.

Yes, you’re right, font-generator only works with Rosetta in current SLS-v1.3.4. We’ll fix this issue in SLS-v1.3.5.
