Hi
Newbie here. Created typeface. exported all good. However I’ve encountered an issue opening file again. Error on line XXX due to GS Layer issue.
On review of otf files I can see I’ve got a dupe of one of my glyphs, I’m guessing that is the issue. What’s the procedure in this case? Do I have to recreate from the otf’s or can I go in and look at the ‘corrupt’ file?

Open the .glyphs file in a text editor and check around line 131628. If you like, you can post a snippet of that text here.
There is probably a closing brace or parenthesis missing somewhere.
What version of Glyphs are you using?

ok. Many thanks again.
I might have resolved the issue of opening the file.
What I did was to fill the NaN with a rough size (680) and went through 3 other opening error dialogues.
After filling the lines with the random data… as above, it opened.
Can I ask what the issue is?
From what I can see, I’ve been using the right side bearing as (=|) would this return a NaN?
any answer would be appreciated, not wanting to do this again! ha.

This is a problem caused by my “Color Flow” plugin.
I don’t really know how it happened, sorry
