I’m sure I’m missing something completely obvious and very useful, but I’ve never run into this before.
What is the green outline that’s preventing interpolation of the IJ instances? How do I get rid of it (or perhaps use it for something)?
- Look at the numbers indicating shape order: You have four outlines in this master. I suppose it should be only two.
- Follow the lines for shapes one and two. They converge around the origin point. There are two tiny paths there. Possibly a stray point or the result of an accidental transformation.
That was my first suspicion too, but I can find no stray points. When I remove everything from every layer, the invisible mystery shapes remain, even though, as far as I can tell, nothing is there.
However, I created a new IJ.ss01 glyph, copied the shapes over and everything is fine there. I think I’ll just delete the problem glyph and replace it with the new one.
Thank you.
Can you do that in the macro window:
Layer.shapes = None
As I mentioned, to work around the problem I swapped the newly created IJ.ss01 glyph with the problematic IJ glyph. Rather than delete it, I saved the original problem glyph as IJ.ss02 — just in case I needed it.
Interestingly, the act of renaming it and saving the file made the non-existant mystery shapes go away. Now I have no way of recreating the problem. Very peculiar.
Thank you for the macro suggestion to clear all the shapes. If it happens again, I’ll try it.
I just had this same thing happen to me. What I realized (and what I think you have in the screengrab on the first/original post) is that i had anchors in the light weight, but not in the bold weight. Once I deleted those, my compatibility check went green again. Hope this helps.
