Memory Leak? How to fix loosing memory with python generator?

mikeudin

Hello guys!
I using this nice appoach to convert eps text data to spline using AI (Adobe Illustrator) importer. But it seems there is some memory leak because the amount of memory increases every time. How it can be fixed?
Here is a test file. Thank you!

Hi @mikeudin
Not an answer but a question, how do you get the Illustrator path and convert to text data?

@Dunhou You must use text shaping library to get glyphs outlines and convert it to bezier curves.

Thanks @mikeudin , I'll take a look at this, is this means uharfbuzz or something like this?

Hi sorry for not answering this topic earlier, I finally found some time to investigate and sadly there is nothing you can do in your side, this memory leak is coming from the Illustrator Importer and can be big, since all the points and tangents of the file are leaking. A fix will be available in the next update.

Thanks for the report !
Cheers,
Maxime.
