Custom Font script (spawned from Wallace's PhotoFont topic).

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Fri Feb 10, 2017 1:05 pm **(#351)**

Upgraded to Gimp 2.8.20 in the hopes that this would fix things, but it didn't.

try this attachment (just to make sure we're talking about the same script).

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Thu Feb 16, 2017 6:56 pm **(#353)**

Nope. Same thing. I so want this one to work!

trandoductin · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2017 10:09 pm **(#354)**

I want it to work for you too but i have no idea what would cause error on yours and not on mine.
I don't know what else is different.

Looks like it's failing on make-string for some reason...
Photomaster,
wanna try something for me?
Go to Filters -> Script-Fu -> Console
Enter

Code: Select all

(define charList 0)

Then
Enter

Code: Select all

(set! charList (map (lambda (x) (make-string 1 x)) (string->list "abcdef")))

see if it runs...
that's essentially what the script is failing

I was going to suggest temporarily removing all scm files except the custom_font.scm and see if that works.

Definitely worth trying since this error confused the heck outa me

This is what I got to running the script commands. I am going to try the removing scripts idea.

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Sat Feb 18, 2017 3:40 pm **(#359)**

I removed all the scripts from C:\Users\PhotoMaster\.gimp-2.8\scripts and from C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts
leaving only custom_font.scm and I got this error message.

just try removing script from
C:\Users\PhotoMaster\.gimp-2.8\scripts

Not from
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts
because those need to come with GIMP.

Now it's complaining about basic functions, not good.

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Sat Feb 18, 2017 9:10 pm **(#361)**

I restored most of my scripts. I noticed that when I went into the script-fu console I had gotten errors and I have spent several hours pulling out all of the scripts that were throwing errors.

From C:\Users\PhotoMaster\.gimp-2.8\scripts, I have removed

24mhgrad.scm
DIEGO_draw-random-drops.scm
ev_iccii_photoeffects_24.scm
kp24_test_for_duplicate_scripts.scm
Pattern-from-Image.scm
Picture Frame.scm
sg-platonic-calendar.scm

From C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts, I have removed

animstack.scm
fil_current_pub_eng.scm
filltrans.scm
FU_edges_photo-border-fancy.scm
FU_sketch_lineart-toned.scm
grid-system.scm
guides-new.scm
iccii-convolution-presets.scm
images-grid-layout.scm
lasm-lab-color-punch.scm
lasm-lab-wow.scm
lasm-line-art.scm
palette-export.scm

This is the latest result. I will try restoring the files from C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts

I just restored the 13 scripts I removed and got the identical error.
I will try removing all of the C:\Users\PhotoMaster\.gimp-2.8\scripts scripts and see if I get anywhere there.

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Sat Feb 18, 2017 9:21 pm **(#363)**

It actually works!! Now to restore scripts to find out which one is screwing things up.

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Sat Feb 18, 2017 10:36 pm **(#364)**

Out of 316 scripts, these two are the culprits
l-system_v12.scm
turtle_v12.scm
I'll look at them to try to find the common problem.

Hi PhotoMaster.

l-system_v12.scm
turtle_v12.scm
It's a great script - but it works only in the old version of the GIMP 2.2.17

No takers for renovation. :gaah

@PhotoMaster
you mentioned among the filters which gave you errors using on the console my
DIEGO_draw-random-drops.scm
It's that it requires a set of available transparent drops, like:

Yes Photomaster remember to add pre requisites to your scm , and python filter additions. They should be listed in the post of any uploaded scripts at gimpscripts.com . If that is where you downloaded them from.
Glad to see you found the culprits. I suggest everyone to remove the turtle scripts if they have them installed in GIMP-2.8 versions.

I decided to try creating my own font. I think it came out pretty good. I named it "Moose" as my friends and family call me. I hope you like it!
