<![CDATA[Glyphs UFO to Robofont]]>Hey there! I’ve followed the tutorial provided here https://robofont.com/documentation/how-tos/converting-from-glyphs-to-ufo/ because the .ufo file is saved from Glyphs comes back as:

The file isn’t in the correct format. contents.plist is missing.

I've put my file into a "ufo" folder and tried running the exportFontsFromGlyphsToUFO.py. This, however, results in:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "exportFontsFromGlyphsToUFO.py", line 8, in <module>
NameError: name 'NSClassFromString' is not defined

How to fix this?

That article from the RF docs might be a bit outdated. Which version of GlyphsApp are you using? I've recently exported a ufo from GlyphsApp with v3 and I was able to open it in RoboFont.

Can you share the ufo file off-forum?
