my FontLab is acting weird

scottsullivan

SO I'm making parallel paths and there are certain glyphs (K and V) so far that shut FontLab down for some reason, it just quits out of nowhere. Also, when I'm going through the face making parallel paths, my keyboard shortcuts will stop working and then eventually FontLab will just shut off..

Anybody know what's going on?

I tried you parameters exactly, and got no crash. I would suggest this is a problem external to FL, or to a properly installed version.

Cheers!

Uninstall Fontlab, run all three system maintenance scripts, reinstall Fontlab.

@James, what are the system maintenance scripts?

Maintenance scripts are scripts that clean up all the weird crap applications do to each other and the operating system. Apple’s brilliant developers set them to run after three AM, when computers are turned off, so they never get run. http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
