Hello,

I have been trying to install my font but keep getting validation error in Font Book. Below is the screenshot. I am using Glyphs 4.1.1. Please help me solve this or direct me to the topic that already has.

Thanks

Milind

Can you show your name table (e.g. in Font Table viewer or the .ttx)?

The empty 256-entry is strange. Can you send me the .glyphs file?

Thanks. Unfortunately, I am still getting the same validation error. Could you help me understand your fix so that I can try it natively?

The fix will be part of the next cutting-edge (beta) release of Glyphs and later as part of the official (non-beta) 4.2 release.

The problem is that there is a stylistic set feature with an empty label. That can happen if some editing was done in the label field.  
I did send you the corrected file in a DM in the forum.

The easiest fix is to add a label to the stylistic set.

I added the label in my version and it is working without errors now. Thank you so much for the help.
