I am running OpenSCAD version 2025.04.13 (git f8d680306) on MacOS Sequoia 15.4.1 on a MacBook Air M4. I am attempting to use BOSL2 path_text() Path_text() is complaining: ERROR: Assertion 'false' failed: "textmetrics disabled: Must specify letter size" in file ../libraries/BOSL2/shapes3d.scad, line 4030 However, OpenSCAD Preferences show textmetrics enabled. Clicking on the Preferences > Features > textmetrics check box (either ON or OFF) brings up the Customizer Pane. Actually, clicking on ANY of the Preferences > Features check boxes brings up the Customizer. Is this expected at this time? Thanks!

Did you give textmetrics=true to path_text to enable the feature in BOSL2?

#path_text(path, _text, font=_fontName, h=_letterDepth, size=_fontSize,

Yes, #path_text(path, _text, font=_fontName, h=_letterDepth, size=_fontSize, center=true, textmetrics=true ); On Wed, Apr 23, 2025 at 12:08 PM Adrian Mariano <avm4@cornell.edu> wrote: > Did you give textmetrics=true to path_text to enable the feature in BOSL2? > > On Wed, Apr 23, 2025 at 12:54 Leonard Martin Struttmann via Discuss < > discuss@lists.openscad.org> wrote: > >> I am running OpenSCAD version 2025.04.13 (git f8d680306) on MacOS Sequoia >> 15.4.1 on a MacBook Air M4. >> >> I am attempting to use BOSL2 path_text() >> >> Path_text() is complaining: ERROR: Assertion 'false' failed: "textmetrics >> disabled: Must specify letter size" in file >> ../libraries/BOSL2/shapes3d.scad, line 4030 >> >> However, OpenSCAD Preferences show textmetrics enabled. >> >> Clicking on the Preferences > Features > textmetrics check box (either ON >> or OFF) brings up the Customizer Pane. >> >> Actually, clicking on ANY of the Preferences > Features check boxes >> brings up the Customizer. >> >> Is this expected at this time? >> >> Thanks! >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> OpenSCAD mailing list >> To unsubscribe send an email to discuss-leave@lists.openscad.org >> >

Actually that error is from BOSL2, not from openscad. Very strange because it should appear only when textmetrics is false. From openscad you get a “warning” that the textmetrics function doesn’t exist.

Ok, my (partial) mistake. I got so distracted playing with the Customizer pane popping up, that I accidentally turned textmetrics back OFF in Preferences. When Preferences is on AND textmetrics=true, then path_text() does not complain. There's still the question of the Customizer pane, though. Thanks, everyone!
