Toolbar buttons disappeared when choosing glyph names for master icons

  • Glyphs 3.0.3 (3091) with these add-ons:
    • Variable Font Preview 3 plugin
    • mekkablue scripts
    • Python module
    • Vanilla module
  • macOS Monterey 12.0.1
  • MacBookPro15,1

I have a font with twelve masters: normal and italic in six weights each. I had previously been using the built-in ‘n’ icons for each master, but realized I could choose an actual glyph from the font instead.

I edited every master to use the ‘e’ glyph. The little preview in the font info panel looked fine for each of them.

I went back to the main window — and all the toolbar buttons for the masters are gone. Completely absent. Here are things I’ve tried:

  • Restarting Glyphs
  • Closing the file, restarting Glyphs, and opening the file
  • Nuking everything in ~/Library/Caches/com.GeorgSeifert.Glyphs3
  • Doing all of the above again after changing the icons back to the default n choices

One interesting thing about this file is that it used to be a .glyphspackage folder so I could put it in Git sanely, but at some point since my last commit Glyphs has silently deleted the .glyphspackage and replaced it with a regular .glyphs file.

These were the only messages in Console.app that seemed error-like around the time I changed some master icons around:

default	13:09:05.188652-0600	Glyphs 3	Item (<private>) was removed because there is not enough space. minWidth=45.000000
default	13:09:05.188981-0600	Glyphs 3	Item (<private>) was removed because there is not enough space. minWidth=45.000000
default	13:09:09.292738-0600	Glyphs 3	Item (<private>) was removed because there is not enough space. minWidth=389.000000
default	13:09:09.292823-0600	Glyphs 3	Item (<private>) was removed because there is not enough space. minWidth=389.000000

Can you try the latest cutting edge version. That issue is fixed.
