Hi,

after some tweaking, the mode in the object crashes and send me a message:

Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “main.py”, line 195, in   
mode.draw(screen,etc)  
File"sdcard/Modes/Python/T - Font Patterns//.py", line 29, in draw  
text = font.render(unistr, True, (color))  
error: Text has zero width

How can I solve it?

It is possible to download this stock mode again in case I made some mistake? (even if I didn’t change anything here)

Thanks

W.

I copied the error during the performance from the editor view:

File “/sdcard/Modes/Python/T - Font Patterns//main.py”, line 29, in draw  
text = font.render(unistr, True, (color))  
error: Text has zero width

this is the code reloaded:  
import os  
import pygame  
import time  
import random

count = 0  
trigger = False  
unistr = unichr(random.randint(0x25a0, 0x25ff))  
textpos = (0,0)

pass

y45 = ((45_yr)/720)

if etc.audio_trig or etc.midi_note_new :

if trigger == True :
    unistr = get_unicode_character(int(etc.knob3 * 10)+1)

for i in range(0,81) :
    
    odd = i%2
    if odd == 0 :
        x = ((i % 9) * x160 + x80 + shift) - x160
        y = (int(i / 9) % 9) * y90 + y45 #+ (shift-70)
            
    if odd == 1 :
        x = ((i % 9) * x160 + x80) - x160
        y = (int(i / 9) % 9) * y90 + y45
        
    textpos = text.get_rect(center = (x,y))
    screen.blit(text, textpos)

I think this is discussed and solved here: [Bug in one of EYESY's factory modes - Text has zero width](https://forum.critterandguitari.com/t/bug-in-one-of-eyesys-factory-modes-text-has-zero-width/6388), although maybe for a different stock mode.

Regards,  
John
