Some glyph data isn’t showing up in RoboFont
-
I have a couple of glyphs which I recently added to a project, but now don’t see data for in RoboFont – even though I do see data for these in a code editor and when the UFO is opened in GlyphsApp.
The glyph looks empty in RoboFont:
But the glyph shows data in a code editor:
And the outline appears in GlyphsApp:
Even RoboFont Skateboard shows that these glyphs have data and are interpolatable:
The glyph also fails to build into a font.
What might be going wrong?
Extra context:
- I’m in RoboFont Version 4.2 (build 2204191146)
- I am using ufoNormalizer
Debugging steps so far
- My first thought was that a Git merge may have left some Git syntax somewhere (e.g.
<<<<<<), which could be disrupting the UFO. This has happened before, but I can’t find anything like that, this time. - I’ve tried opening it in the latest RF beta,
RoboFont 4.3b beta 2205062222. Still looking empty.
-
I tried both .glif in RF and they work fine.
Was it maybe a sync issue with git?
Did you have to solve any diff conflict?

Hmm, well, I can copy-paste the .glif code into the glyph in RoboFont. It now appears, and git shows me that there isn’t much of a before/after change aside from one excluded guideline and some floating points that have been rounded.
Here’s a git diff:
