Different name table entries when exporting the font on different machines

Glyphs
1

I’m noticing something odd; same font, same Glyphs 3 version, yet the font on one machine has extra name entries. Here is the TTX diff:

As you can see, the extra entries uses Arabic language ID, yet they are simply duplicates of the English entries. Here is the font info, as you can see there are no duplicated entries:

What is even more odd is that it happens on one machine and not the other, and both use Glyphs 3.0.5 (3130) version. The only difference is that the machine where there are no extra entries is an Apple silicon one.

Can you try reinstalling the app on the machine with the faulty export result?

Setup is the same? Glyph data, extensions?

3

I can’t reproduce this. Can you send me that file? And what version of macOS do you have on both machines?

Here is a file that reproduces this. Both machines has macOS 12.4 (21F79).

No

Will the plugins I installed be restored after reinstall? I don’t want to hunt them down.

There is no Glyph data used, but plugins are possibly different, since I installed them manually on both machines (it would be nice if there were a way to collect a list of plugins in a file and automatically install them from there, like some package mangers do).
