Glyph Designer Lion Ready

We have this evening released Glyph Designer 1.4.2. This release addresses an issue when running Glyph Designer on OS X 10.7 Lion that caused Glyph Designer to crash during startup. Applying this update will fix the issue and allow you to work with Glyph Designer in Lion uninterrupted :o)

Just out of curiosity, can you mention if it was indeed an Apple bug?

Hi Tony

I don’t know yet, I’ve not heard back from Apple. We have continued to work on the problem and have found a workaround that allows us to reintroduce the threading we were using for the font loading.

The work around was to use @synchronized(aFont) { } around the command that was failing with aFont being the font being accessed in the command. We’ve not seen anything that tells us that NSFont is not thread safe and we are not even trying to access each instance of NSFont we have outside of a thread, so it should be OK anyway.

Once we know more I’ll share :o)
