Can't require

[josip]

Just did npm install fontkit, and tried to require it in node CLI but got this:

> require('fontkit');
TypeError: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/josip/tmp/node_modules/fontkit/node_modules/brotli/build/decode.js:2:462)

I'm using node 0.10.4 on OS X 10.11. I'm guessing I'm using a too old version of node?

It is emscripten being stupid again. It is looking for the program name (normally process.argv[1]), but there is none since you just typed node without an argument. It works outside the cli. I'm working to move away from emscripten for brotli decoding.

However, that said, yes: 0.10 is too old =) v0.12 is about to fall out of its LTS periodd, so you want to be on v4.x (current long-term-support version is 4.4) or 5.x (current stable being 5.9)

This should be fixed if you re-install. We're using a hand ported pure JS brotli decoder now.
