Compile not working in 3.2 [Workaround: pg. 2]

Ah, I found something that looks promising, it may have to do with having set a global font override in the past (if you created your test project from a template, it may have had that set as well). You could try this:

  1. In Finder, right-click on the test project that you created, and select “Show Package Contents”.
  2. Drill down into the Settings folder, and delete the ‘compile.xml’ file.
  3. Now restart Scrivener, load the project, and try compiling.

That unfortunately wipes out all compile settings, as you would imagine. So if that is not something you could afford to do in a live project, there is a more surgical approach that would involve editing the XML file to remove the font setting.

If you’re comfortable doing so, open the .xml file in a plain-text editor (TextEdit will work if that’s all you have), and search for “”. You’re looking for instances that directly follow a “” line. Delete the whole line containing the Font declaration, for each format that has one.

Obviously, I’d strongly recommend setting aside a backup copy of your project before doing this.

Or… if you can, just wait until the fix is out. We’ll have this fixed soon since it is obviously going to impact fair number of users.
