Unable to open UFO containing openTypeNameRecords

paulvanderlaan

I have a UFO containing the following data in fontinfo.plist:

<key>openTypeNameRecords</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>languageID</key>
			<integer>1050</integer>
			<key>nameID</key>
			<integer>9</integer>
			<key>platformID</key>
			<integer>3</integer>
			<key>string</key>
			<string>Name with Croatian glyphs đć</string>
		</dict>
	</array>

when I try to open this file in RF3.4 (or later betas) it refuses to open with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lib/doodleDocument.pyc", line 96, in _loadFont
  File "/Applications/RoboFont-3.4.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/defcon/objects/font.py", line 396, in _get_info

  File "/Applications/RoboFont-3.4.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.7/defcon/objects/info.py", line 38, in setter
ValueError: Invalid value ([{'languageID': 1050, 'nameID': 9, 'platformID': 3, 'string': 'Name with Croatian glyphs đć'}]) for attribute openTypeNameRecords.

The IDs for the name record in question appear to be defined correctly:

Indeed that is the culprit. Thanks @frederik!

you are missing the encodingID key in the name dict...

see the dict prototype https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/blob/main/Lib/fontTools/ufoLib/validators.py#L200
