Fixing stemhist -a in AFDKO 2.5 and Snow Leopard

[mekkablue]

I got this error when trying to use stemhist -a on an OTF:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/mekka/bin/FDK/Tools/osx/../SharedData/FDKScripts/StemHist.py", line 934, in <module>
    main()
  File "/Users/mekka/bin/FDK/Tools/osx/../SharedData/FDKScripts/StemHist.py", line 923, in main
    collectStemsFont(path, options, txPath)
  File "/Users/mekka/bin/FDK/Tools/osx/../SharedData/FDKScripts/StemHist.py", line 774, in collectStemsFont
    fontinfo = getFontInfo(topDict, psName, options)
  File "/Users/mekka/bin/FDK/Tools/osx/../SharedData/FDKScripts/StemHist.py", line 458, in getFontInfo
    fontinfoStr = " ".join(fontinfo)
TypeError: sequence item 5: expected string, int found

To fix this, in FDK/Tools/SharedData/FDKScripts/StemHist.py, I changed line 458 from:

Code:

fontinfoStr = " ".join(fontinfo)

to:

Code:

fontinfoStr = " ".join([str(x) for x in fontinfo])

Hope this helps someone out there :-)

Thank you! I will look into why a fix is needed, and make sure that it folded into the next AFDKO release.

This also should be fixed, don’t know, if you have seen it:
