Hello

I am not sure if this is a bug, or if I did something wrong. I was working on a file in Robofont for quite a long time and saved it several times.
After finally closing it, I can't open it again, Robofont says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lib/doodleDocument.pyc", line 281, in _loadFont
  File "/Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/defcon/objects/font.py", line 277, in __iter__
  File "lib/fontObjects/doodleFont.pyc", line 212, in __getitem__
  File "lib/fontObjects/doodleFont.pyc", line 65, in _loadGlyph
  File "lib/fontObjects/doodleFont.pyc", line 75, in _loadGlyphLayers
KeyError: 'None not in font'

Any idea what I did wrong or what I have to do to open it again?

Thank you
Ronnie

Sent.

In the mean time I managed to import it in FL5 and also to export it as UFO from there.
But Robofont can't open this new UFO neither, it gives me the same traceback.

Its been solved off-list.

The issue was a glyph with an empty name, best way to solve such issue is to open the xml files in the UFO in a texteditor and edit the data.
