In Glyphs 3.3 (3307) using Python 3.11.9 (Glyphs), and the latest Dotter (d3c2445) I get the following traceback in the Macro Panel output: (No Pendot Designer dialog box shows)

Stroker Width 50
Stroker Height 50
Stroker Angle 0
Start Cap round
End Cap round
Join Type round
Remove External False
Remove Internal False
Segment Wise False
Dot Size 30

oops, this was fixed locally but I didn't commit it.

That didn't fix it - here's the traceback:

Oops. Fixed that issue too. Pull and restart!

(The problem is that I wrote and tested the code to fill out the custom parameters before I wrote the code to use them. So writing the CPs works fine; and using them works fine, but only if you already have them in the font...)

[jvgaultney]

Still not working. BTW the parameters had been successfully migrated in the font AFAICT (see https://github.com/silnrsi/font-pendot-latin/commit/7734f41202cf07126bf64f9eb5ce753984c7250c), so it's not just a matter of them being missing.

If I open a New Font, with nothing in it, I get:
