Looking for some help… have an OpenSCAD (2018.03.17) program that works fine on my Mac but when I call it through the command line it generates the following warning: Fontconfig warning: line 144: blank doesn't take any effect anymore. please remove it from your fonts.conf And then the Activity monitor reports that OpenSCAD continues to grind away at ~95% CPU usage, but doesn’t ever finish. Any thoughts?

Hugo, Do you mind sharing the command line you are using in terminal? I would like to try it on my MacBook pro running OS X 10.13.6 to see if I get the same result.

I reduced the program down to a few lines which is this… textmsg = "test"; module text_hang() { rotate([0,90,0]) linear_extrude(12) text(text = textmsg, size = 10, halign = "center"); } text_hang(); And it is invoked with… /Applications/OpenSCAD.app/Contents/MacOS/OpenSCAD -o ~/Documents/OpenSCAD/test_hang.stl ~/Documents/OpenSCAD/test_hang.scad I have determined that the program DOES finish running… eventually… somewhat non-intuitively (to me anyway) the program just takes a lot longer to execute in command line mode that program mode… so what do I know. So I guess I’m really just reporting on the warning message. > On Jul 21, 2018, at 4:53 PM, Jean-Paul Louis <louijp@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hugo, > > Do you mind sharing the command line you are using in terminal? > > I would like to try it on my MacBook pro running OS X 10.13.6 to see if I get the same result. > > Jean-Paul > >> On Jul 21, 2018, at 6:09 PM, Hugo Jackson <hugo@apres.net> wrote: >> >> Looking for some help… have an OpenSCAD (2018.03.17) program that works fine on my Mac but when I call it through the command line it generates the following warning: >> >> Fontconfig warning: line 144: blank doesn't take any effect anymore. please remove it from your fonts.conf >> >> And then the Activity monitor reports that OpenSCAD continues to grind away at ~95% CPU usage, but doesn’t ever finish. >> Any thoughts? >> _______________________________________________ >> OpenSCAD mailing list >> Discuss@lists.openscad.org >> http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org > > > _______________________________________________ > OpenSCAD mailing list > Discuss@lists.openscad.org > http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org

Later versions of the GUI do the Font update EVERY time you run it, which 'can take up to a couple of minutes', perhaps that is also happening via command line? ----- Admin - PM me if you need anything, or if I've done something stupid...
