<![CDATA[Trouble Generating Font/Test Install]]>After beginning to kern a font, I have begun receiving error messages in the output window when I try to test install or generate an otf. This is the message:

makeotf Report

makeotf [Error] Failed to build output font file  Riza.otf.

I don't know any coding so I (a) haven't written any for the font and (b) don't know what to make of this message.
