Kerncheck

[shotype]

Hello,
I tried to use Kerncheck but the error message appeared as followings.

==
~$ kerncheck -doAll /Users/okano/Desktop/project/Project-Regular.otf -log /Users/okano/Desktop/project/Project-Regular.kc.kc.txt
Loading Adobe Glyph Dict...
Collecting font kern data...

    lookupDict[lookup] = scriptDict[srcScript][scrLang][lookup]

Other tools work fine. kerncheck -u and -h also works well.
I would like to know how to solve this problem.
I installed the latest AFDKO and kernchek version seems v1.5.
I’m using MacOSX 10.6.8 python 2.6.1.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Hello Kunihiko,

This looks like your font has no kerning lookups?
That is why lookupDict[lookup] runs into a key error.

Have you tried running the script with another font for testing if kerncheck itself works?

Cheers,
Frank

Here is a part of the kerning table I want to test.
I’m making a Latin part for a Japanese typeface,
so glyph name is using cid names.

feature kern { # Kerning
 # DEFAULT
lookup kern1 {
    pos cid9363 cid96 -80;
    pos cid9366 cid143 -35;
    pos cid9366 cid149 -10;
    pos cid9368 cid149 -30;
......................
    pos [cid9635] @_cid9478 -30;
    pos [cid9635] @_cid9509 -50;
    pos [cid20385] @_cid9509 -30;
    pos [cid15956] @_cid9509 -45;
    pos [cid15956] @_cid95151 -45;
    pos [cid15956] @_cid9517 -45;
    pos [cid15956] @_cid9521 -45;
    pos [cid15956] @_cid95231 -45;
    pos [cid15956] @_cid9527 -45;
    pos [cid15956] @_cid9528 -45;
    pos [cid15956] @_cid9530 -45;
    pos [cid15956] @_cid9534 -45;
} kern1;
 script grek; # Greek
lookup kern1;
 script cyrl; # Cyrillic
lookup kern1;
 script latn; # Latin
lookup kern1;
} kern;

Yes, I tried AJensonPro-Lt.otf and GaramondPremrPro.otf, the results were the same but with ACaslonPro-Bold.otf, it worked fine.
Is there any difference among them?

I tested the previous Kerncheck v1.4, it worked fine with my typeface and made a pdf.

Hello Frank,

I’m using Glyphs and I realized that language systems generated automatically.
I revised it and kept languagesystem DFLT dflt; only in the feature window, then it worked fine.

Your advice was very helpful and all problems are solved. There‘s no problem in kerncheck.
Sorry to bother and thank you very much.

Sincerely regards.

Kunihiko

Kunihiko, that is good to know. 

Thanks for the update – I don't think kerncheck has been changed recently. 

Greetings,

Frank

This was indeed a bug in kerncheck. The problem is on the regular expression at line 505.

There's a '# ' (disregard the quotes) missing before the words "because already dumped".
