Crash while generating font

cj

RF keeps freezing while generating font, it gives me this error (below) while the progress bar reads "remove overlap..."

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/RoboFont.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/vanilla/dialogs.py", line 110, in savePanelDidEnd_returnCode_contextInfo_

Generating in Area51 works, but gives me this error:

makeotfexe [WARNING]  [internal] Feature block seen before any language system statement.  You should place languagesystem statements before any feature definition [features 1]
makeotfexe [WARNING]  Vendor name too short. Padded automatically to 4 characters. [features 1161]
makeotfexe [WARNING]  Major version number not in range 1 .. 255 [features 1165]

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Indeed, there was a stray single point on top of another point. That script worked great, thank you.

mmm, I guess you have in one of your glyphs an empty, open contour. During generating a font binary RoboFont is closing all open contours.

Try running this script looking for open contours and remove them instead of trying to close them, or send me the UFO.

f = CurrentFont()

for g in f:
    contoursToRemove = []
    for c in g:
        if c.open:
            ## collect all open contours
            contoursToRemove.append(c)
    
    for c in contoursToRemove:
        ## remove all open contours
        g.removeContour(c)
    
    if contoursToRemove:
        g.update()
