      but having a control char somewhere in the font info is never a good plan (you have the control character 0x80 somewhere)

      @erik In most cases that's probably already true, or needs a small edit. This may be true if you look at the people’s current techniques, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if people who get better at drawing for interpolation in the coming years will be able to get away without “normal” intermediate masters in situations where they might have previously needed them (especially if any of this Higher Order Interpolation stuff breaks through to standard font technology).

      So after running ufonormalizer on the files things seem to work. It takes a really long time to compile (about 10 minutes, though that drops to about 1 or 2 minutes if I turn off autohinting), but it does work. I'm not sure what ufonormalizer actually changed (it looks the same to me) but nothing crashes and there is a working OTF at the end of the process.

      I see, and found it, seems like the default setting is not used in the font compiler. Will be fixed in the next update...

      Hi There could be differences as RoboFont 1.6 embeds an older FDK. Jump to RoboFont 1.7 to get a newer FDK. If the FDK version is the same the speed should be the same. thanks

      I'm aware of that option and this will be implemented, but still there is something wrong with the provided data to the binary ttf compiler...

      euhm, does the path where you generate the file to contains anything out of an ascii range? (first thing that pops up in my head) If not, you can send me the UFO file, if you can. thanks

      If I try to export a single glyph, it works. May it be a problem with the number of contours?

      Thanks, now it works. I suggest to insert a tooltip showing the allowed char in the fields. Best, Roberto

      Ah thank. It works alright. With print I found that in the features there was something not okay: empty group [] new question: is there already a super handy script which remove glyphnames -that not appear in the ufo- from the featuresfile?
