Export problem with "new anchor" which doesn't exist

[jroshell (John)]

Exporting TTF gives this error:

But there is no “new anchor” in the glyph:

What does

for layer in Layer.parent.layers:
    for anchor in layer.anchors:
        print(layer.name, anchor.name, anchor.position)

print? Maybe there’s a rogue anchors flying around. Or, just hit Cmd+Option+Shift+U (Reset Anchors in all Masters) to clear and reset anchors.

@SCarewe

for layer in Layer.parent.layers:
    for anchor in layer.anchors:
        print(layer.name, anchor.name, anchor.position)

AHA it was in the “E” component. Funny that it flagged AE and not E, but whatever, that got me to the answer. Thanks for the tip, and happy new year!

That’s because AE is treated before E when exporting (it’s treated in the glyph order as visible in the Font view). Glad it’s cleared up! Happy new year as well.
