SyntaxError

See original GitHub issue

Hi I keep getting the following error, both on win10 and osx.

async function main() {
      ^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token function
    at Object.exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:78:16)
    at Module._compile (module.js:545:28)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:582:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:490:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:449:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:441:3)
    at Module.runMain (module.js:607:10)
    at run (bootstrap_node.js:420:7)
    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:139:9)
    at bootstrap_node.js:535:3

My font names are as follows:

OperatorMono-Bold.oft

… and so on.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

@sdyrby This is an issue with the original font in certain editors. I’m not sure why this happens, but for example in LibreOffice Writer they look fine, but when using them in phpStorm I see the same thing as you.

LibreOffice Writer op-mono-libre

Op Mono Book no ligatures. op-mono-phpstorm

The script uses async/await so you’ll need to make sure you have Node.js v7.6 or higher.
