Re: Lost fonts after 10.4.4





I did a small _javascript_ patch with an empty input and the output to "font name" and wrote this small script into it...

if (inputs[0] >= undefined) {
outputs[0] = "Helvetica";
outputs[0] = "RealFontName";
}


sure, you need to change RealFontName to the font you actually want to use

you can also put a patchtime/conditional combination to the the inputs[0] -- but though I hope that I don't need this work-around for a long time...





I noticed the same change as well - I cannot recall the details of the fonts that changed... But will send the composition along when I get back from the office.

Thanks to QC users who sent me some sample compositions, I was able to track down the issue: the selected font won't be taken into account if the first time the Image With String patch executes, it has an empty string and either width or height are zero (at that point, the patch stops executing immediately, without having a chance to "set" the font).

That typically affects compositions using RSS feeds, as the strings from the feed are empty until the feed is done loading.

I've got a fix and I'll see if we can get that rolled in a future software update - cross your fingers

The way to work around it is to avoid giving an empty string to Image With String: you could use a String Length patch followed by a Multiplexer patch to detect ahead of time if the string is empty, and, if yes, pass a string that contains a space character (" ") instead, while if no, pass the original string
