Avec ce script, la période des polices dépourvues des diacritiques est désormais révolue pour moi. Toutes mes félicitations à Jongware et merci à Marc pour le partage de cette pépite.

Soit dit en passant, la version complète d'IndyFont gère aussi les ligatures OpenType :)

(À cause de la limitation à un caractère, la démo ne permet pas d'apprécier la puissance de ce script dans toutes ses latitudes, mais je ne doute pas que les typographes dont tu fais partie ont déjà pleinement mesuré ses implications pratiques. Bref, il ne nous reste plus qu'à épier le lancement du produit définitif !)

Merci d'être passé.

Oh ! La moulinette merveilleuse !
Je rajoute une pincée de Font Squirrel et de son générateur de @font-face et voila mon glyphe sur le net. Trop rapide.
Merci pour l'info et merci à ce fameux Jongware

Ho, ben m*** ! Extraordinaire... je vais pouvoir facilement personnaliser mes listes à puces... j'utilisais jusqu'à maintenant une technique de Pierre Labbe, qui fonctionnait à merveille (Merci Pierre!) cf : http://www.wisibility.com/forum/ind...); je vais pouvoir enfin considérer n'importe quel "graphisme" comme un élément de typo pour mes puces personnalisées.

Merci pour le partage Marc...

Salut à vous tous.
Merci pour le partage c'est un SUPERBE script. Comment pourrait-on faire pour acheter la version définitive et totale? Savez vous quand et à quel prix sera-t-il disponible?
J'en bave déjà par avance

Jongware n'a pas encore communiqué la date de sortie du produit, ni son prix. Je peux juste vous promettre que vous serez les premiers informés ;-)

Hi hongart,

Thanks for your bug report. Jongware is investigating that issue.

Have you the possibility to test the following script?

// 1) Create a "test.jsx" file
// 2) Copy-paste the following lines
// 3) Run the script from InDesign
var k, z=0, a = [];
for( k in ScriptUI.FontStyle ) a[z++]=k;
a[z++]="------";
for( k in ScriptUI.applicationFonts ) a[z++]=k;
alert( a.join('\r') );
// End of the script

Please, tell us the result.

#12 By Jongware ( 15 September 2012 - 18:28 )

hongart: without any further information, it appears to be a problem with your system rather than with my script. The error indicates that the script cannot find the Bold variant of the dialog font, and that's not something that should be happening.

#13 By Jongware ( 15 September 2012 - 18:31 )

Tamara: artwork -- the stuff you add -- should appear:
1. on the second page, where you can find a template for your new character
2. on the layer named "Outline" (which is selected by default)
3. only consist of black filled contours, as usual for a font (the color [Black] is set by default as well)
Perhaps you didn't flip to the next page before drawing something?

#14 By Jongware ( 15 September 2012 - 18:41 )

Pecialinda: now that's weird. ... (thinking) ...

Okay, the underlying problem is that your new font name should work under both Windows and under Mac OS X. That means there is a restriction on the characters you can use; and for once it's not a Windows problem but a Mac one!
So IndyFont checks your font name -- and some other text strings on the Identification tab -- for invalid characters, and reports back which one(s) are incompatible. That's what your error line tried to do.
But I cannot replicate your problem! Every single 'weird' character I enter gets reported correctly, and the script allows you to cancel or continue anyway.
You must have entered something *really* unexpected in the Font Name, or in any of the other text fields. If you can tell what font name -- and, if you used those, other "Identification" strings -- you entered, maybe I can find out why the script stops, instead of displaying a sensible error message.

steps

And when I run script second time it's the same error

#16 By Pecialinda ( 15 September 2012 - 21:19 )

and if I paste artwork from Illustrator I get an error message saying i don't have any artwork in the outlines

#17 By Pecialinda ( 15 September 2012 - 21:23 )

Thanks. All now is works :) Pasted artwork was not black color.

#18 By JohnnyD2006 ( 17 September 2012 - 06:21 )

I get a fatal error. When the indyfont script is run for the second page, the "Save Font" window appears; however, after clicking OK, I get a Fatal! error window. "Unable to create file C:\Program Files (86\Adobe InDesign CS6\Fonts\IFBullet01-Regular.otf." Is this an Administrator Permission issue?

#19 By Tamara ( 17 September 2012 - 08:32 )

thx!
i tried to draw a bullet which only has contour and not filled. now that i fixed that, it works. thx for the answer!!

#20 By Jongware ( 17 September 2012 - 13:24 )

Tamara, nice! Yup--you can't make a lines-only font, everything has to have a *fill*.

JohnnyD: bummer. Save in another location and try to move your font manually into this folder. If that also does not work, then you can't create local, InDesign-only fonts. Fortunately, you can always install it straight into your Windows system. Just right-click the font file and choose "Install". (And if *that* doesn't work either, have a talk with your system admin...)

#21 By JohnnyD2006 ( 17 September 2012 - 17:39 )

Saving in another folder did the trick. Must have been an Administrator access thing. Run into this before with Adobe products. Thank you.

#22 By Chuckie ( 17 September 2012 - 18:31 )

Jongware, truly smashing work (again) !

Works great, and one small question. I drew a bullet twice. One same size as default bullet (it's a hand), and second time much larger.

Do you have advice as to getting the glyph larger?

#23 By Seanzah ( 20 September 2012 - 05:41 )

Where/when is the full version available?
Loving the demo, but the application I'm most looking forward to using this script for is altering fonts to use an accented 'a' in Maori language text. There are only a few fonts that support this at the moment, and they're not the most inspiring typefaces...

#24 By Jongware ( 20 September 2012 - 07:09 )

Seanzah, the full version is coming soon.
But! It's not a font *editor*, you cannot change an existing font in any way, and that includes adding characters.

#25 By Steve ( 25 September 2012 - 11:56 )

Great script Jong! It works perfectly, thank you very much.

#26 By Nancy ( 25 September 2012 - 19:02 )

I'm getting the same error that Tamara got, saying that I don't have any outlines. I have placed the object on the 2nd page in the area specified. It is filled with black. I even tried combining the elements into one object using pathfinder and it still gives me the error saying there are no outlines. What am I doing wrong? I'm using ID CS6 on Mac OSX 10.8.1.

#27 By dgimeson ( 29 November 2012 - 18:58 )

When/were is the full version?

#28 By Marc ( 30 November 2012 - 15:42 )

@ dgimeson

Not available yet. We are working hard on it.

Hi Marc
This is fantastic and we are starting to use it fairly regularly in publications to create icons and symbols. We're very keen to buy the full version so that we can combine all the icons for a single publication into one font instead of having each individually. Can you let me know when it is available please?
