"The wildcard contains an illegal key"

Glyphs

I am getting an error I don’t understand at export.

The operation couldn’t be completed. The wildcard contains an illegal key: x in “Reencode Glyphs” parameter

The parameter under Font Info > Exports:

{
customParameters = (
{
name = "Reencode Glyphs";
value = (
"x=y"
);
}
);
}

I have exported from this file before, and it has always worked. This error appeared after one of the latest updates. I have also tried using the parameter in a new font and I am getting the same error.

I am using the latest update: 3.2 (3214)

Thanks for the report. I fixed it.

Would you please push an update?
I am using this feature for multiple fonts that I need to export.

Unfortunately it is still broken, after the update.

Error:
Error parsing “Reencode Glyphs” parameter: The Unicode value must be 4 to 5 characters long.

Parameter:

{
customParameters = (
{
name = "Reencode Glyphs";
value = (
"mgSquare=0030,0031"
);
}
);
}

It works if I use mgSquare=0030, but mgSquare=0030,0031 gives me the error. This has always worked before.

Sorry, fixed that, too.
