MakeOTF and GlyphOrderAndAliasDB problem
I'm trying to build a font with makeOTF, but I can't get past this error message:
makeotfexe [FATAL] line too long [../../GlyphOrderAndAliasDB 3]
Any ideas?
+++++
The text of "current.fpr"
DoAliasAndOrder true
InputFontPath MUSEO2_100.otf
GlyphAliasDBPath ../../GlyphOrderAndAliasDB
FeaturePath features
FontMenuDBPath ../../FontMenuNameDB
kSetfsSelectionBitsOn [7]
terminal output (on "makeOTF -fp")
makeotf [NOTE] Running makeotfexe with command string:
makeotfexe "-f" "MUSEO2_100.otf.tmp" -ga -ff "features" -osbOn "7" -gf "../../GlyphOrderAndAliasDB" -osv "4" -mf "../../FontMenuNameDB"
makeotfexe [FATAL] line too long [../../GlyphOrderAndAliasDB 3]

I've tried it with the example file that came with the AFDKO stuff and that one seems to work fine. I'll adapt that file to suit my needs. Still can't figure out what I did wrong with the file I made myself though...

It sounds like a problem with the linebreaks in your file. Make sure you use a a plain text editor (like the free TextWrangler for instance; Apple's TextEdit is not so suitable). Make sure you use Unix linebreaks and finish the last entry in your file with a linebreak too.
Hope that helps.
