Editing failed bug

[juliusross1]

Was editing the math variants, and got this message (which appears now each time that I click Gylph -> Edit Math Variants.

Let me know if there is more information I can provide.

This probably means you entered a name of a non-existent glyph. I don’t have an immediate fix, other than editing the file in a text editor and removing the offending glyph name.

If you can share the file with me, I might try to make the plugin code more resilient in such cases, but I’m rather occupied with other stuff right now so that might take a while.

Thanks, I fixed it already my file the way you suggested.

I will try and create a file that causes this bug in case it is helpful to you to do the fix.

I understand you are busy - thanks for the great plugin it is exactly what I need (I am trying to make a variable math font). If I get time myself I may send you a patch for a small improvement that I hope you are willing to consider.

Sure, that would be very appreciated.

Here is a minimal example that shows the bug that I think is related to the bug above

Open Gylphs3 New File -> Latin ->Create File Add Gylphs -> "dblIntegral" ->Generate Gylph -> Edit Math Variants In Variants type "dblIntegral" and press enter File -> Export. (I did not change anything here so am exporting OTF/Postscript/CFF") The export fails and the error is attached.

What is strange is that if I do the same but with "A" instead of "dblIntegral" it all works fine.

I think bug is being caused by the "Production name" in the gylph not being correctly set.
