Error when building Designspace 5 file with a discrete axis, 2 fonts (roman and italic)

[guidoferreyra]

When I try to build the designspace file I get the following:

INFO:fontTools.varLib:Merging OpenType Layout tables
fontmake: Error: In 'MyFont.designspace': Generating fonts from Designspace failed: 

Couldn't merge the fonts, because the glyph order was inconsistent between
masters. This happened while performing the following operation:
GPOS.table.LookupList.Lookup[0]

Both fonts, roman and italic builds correctly when doing it separately, is it required that both set of sources have the same glyphorder?

This is how it looks the Dspace file, any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Would you be able to send the font (privately if needed) so I can run the debugger?

[guidoferreyra]

Yes, could you please give me your email address?
