"description" string is empty

Hi there, working in glyphs mini. Imported some letters from a program called fontstruct and worked on it a bit in glyphs. Now when I try to export my file it’s giving me this pop-up. I have a feeling it’s something in the code that needs to be addressed but I don’t know how to access that. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Can you please send me the .glyphs file to support (at) (this website without www). I will have a look.

sent!

Fontstruct probably added a description parameter to the export. Mini should ignore the description but does not. Here is what you can do:

  1. Save and close the .glyphs file in Glyphs Mini.

  2. Open the .glyphs file in a plaintext editor, such as Atom, SublimeText, TextMate, BBEdit, or the likes. (NOT text processors like Word or Pages.)

  3. Select and remove the following 4 lines towards the beginning of the file:
    image

  4. Save the file and quit the text editor.

  5. Reopen in Glyphs Mini, and export again.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

October, 2021, and this bug hasn’t been solved yet: An error message leads to a field on the “info” panel that does not exist.
