glyphs change when generating a ttf

[Manufraktur]

Hi there,
I have drawn a few letters which I would like to interpolate. When I generate OTFs, all works fine. If I generate a TTF (Variable Font), the glyphs don't have the right allocation any more. When I upload it to a website (eg. Axis Praxis or Font Gauntlet), they seem to have switched. However, if I use Skateboard, they seem to be correct and I can type normal.

This are both generated OTFs used in InDesign:

And this is how the word Pia looks when the TTF is uploaded to a website:

To generate the TTF, I created a designspace and then used Batch generate. Usually that worked fine, but this time not.
Anybody knows what could be the problem?

Thanks for your help in advance,
Petra

I was using RoboFont 3.4
Skateboard (when opening with Sublime Text) it says Build 4121 from October 26, 2021
How to find out the version of Batch, I have no idea.

I just upgraded my RF licence to 4.1 and it is working fine now. Problem solved :)

Thank you for your help!

in some older version of RoboFont there was an issue when the glyph space was not set.

hope this helps!
