Getting the following on fontcustom compile:

        warn  No input directory given. Using present working directory.
      create  .fontcustom-manifest.json

This seems to be related to JSON::Ext::Parser. I haven't really found out why. As a workaround I am using JSON::Pure::Parser. My solution is a bit hacky but it works and nothing else on my system uses json-1.8.6, so I don't care:
In json/common.rb add require 'json/pure/parser' to the imports at the beginning. Then change in the function parser (after adding the require it starts on line 26) and replace the line

const_set :Parser, parser

with

const_set :Parser, JSON::Pure::Parser

@jose1711 @joe-batt Have you tried opening /usr/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/gems/json-1.8.6/lib/json/common.rb and adding the splat operator (**) at line 155?

Hello @brandondrew ,

I have the same issue as @jose1711 on Ubuntu.

Here is what I have at the location you mentioned (which is also the place pointed at by my error message):

Parser.new(source, opts).parse

I tried this:

Parser.new(source, **opts).parse

Got that:

fontcustom compile my_svg_files_folder
      create  fontcustom
       error  `fontforge` compilation failed. Try again with --debug for more details.

As suggested by the error message, I tried with the --debug flag:

fontcustom compile --debug my_svg_files_folder
       debug  Generated files will be saved to `fontcustom/`.
       debug  Using options:

So, it seems your suggestion solved my first issue. (I'll now be digging into my next issue which is surprising as I have fontforge installed but this is a separate question.)

Thanks!

@lcuis have u solve the fontforge problem? i have the same problem, thx

[lcuis]

Hi @dapaopaopao . Sorry, I don't remember this topic at the moment. It seems it was on a different computer than the one I use today as the files are not present. If I stumble on this problem again, I will try to bring a better answer. I probably found another way to get what I needed. For sure, I use FontForge to edit fonts with success. I remember automating SVG imports from Inkscape to FontForge in a very weird but working way using xdotool . I wish you to easily find a solution to your issue.

[Oscarz90]

how did you solve this?

how did you solve this?

Hi @Oscarz90 ,

Sorry, I don't remember better than the comment I wrote then. I hope you'll find a way.
