I have also posted the same problem even with the vesion 16 and after many attempts I gave it up.

If you could attach the font you tried and what text you were trying generate i could run it on mine and see if i run into similar problems..

All versions removed and reinstalled version 16. Still getting errors and I don't know why.

Can you attach the files you used?
the .xcf and the .scm and let me know what text you were trying to generate?
so i can try it on my machine

Yes and also please take a snapshot of the Custom_Font.scm Script-Fu dialog window and values on the widget that you have entered. I am curious about something.

The version of custom_font.scm that I am using is version 16, as seen here.

In this image, I used Gimpchat test.xcf, but I have also tried with Flags_Trebuchet MS Bold.xcf, purple polygon font.xcf, OLWF all letters all.xcf, Blue Metallic Font.xcf, RodsSteamPunk.xcf, PipeDream.xcf, googlemapfont.xcf stitch_font.xcf, RGBSpheres.xcf and PipeDream.xcf. I'm using Gimp 2.8.18 with the default settings on the
app, on a Windows 7 Professional machine [version 6.1(build 7600)]

I just ran with mentioned files and got this.

trandoductin · **Posted:** Thu Feb 09, 2017 5:46 pm **(#348)**

i have GIMP 2.8.16 though....
so i don't know if that's what is break the script or not.

Edit: I see GIMP 2.8.20 is out, i'll try it with that GIMP and see if this error happens for me.

Edit: It runs fine in 2.8.20 too.
So i don't know what the problem is.

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Fri Feb 10, 2017 11:37 am **(#349)**

I tried reinstalling Gimp 2.8.18 but am still having no luck.

trandoductin · **Posted:** Fri Feb 10, 2017 12:59 pm **(#350)**

I am stuck, i don't know what else to suggest.

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.

trandoductin · **Posted:** Fri Feb 10, 2017 2:15 pm **(#352)**

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.

trandoductin · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2017 10:31 pm **(#355)**

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

PhotoMaster · **Posted:** Sat Feb 18, 2017 3:27 pm **(#358)**

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.
