Hey Guys!

I’m having problem exporting the font file, but I can’t find the exact problem in the mark class feature.  
How can I fix it? thanks in advance.

That sounds like you have an anchor name with an invalid character. Can you open the feature file in the temp folder and see what is at line 170?

Seems like you reverse engineered an existing font. This is not the primary usecase for Glyphs. You may need to rename glyphs and redo the features from scratch.

What are you doing with someone else’s retail font, let alone mine? It’s strictly against license agreement!

Hey Toshi, I’m so sorry for misunderstanding  
i’ve purchased the license, I’m Type Designer for Georgian Script and just wanted to add Georgian Glyphs to existing font, because without Georgian I really can’t use it. I’m very much beginner in this type of work, so I’m sorry if I am not allowed to do that.  
absolutely in love with the font, amazing job.

Better to do that in a separate font then.

Before reverse engineering an existing font, check if the EULA allows it. Most EULAs don’t.

Thank you, I’ll do it in a separate file then.

the glyph caroncomb.alt contains an anchor “topright@ascender”. Remove the “@ascender” part.
