Hi everyone!
As mentioned in the title, I am trying to export a variable font using the terminal and Fontmake but this error is still giving me a problem.
As mentioned in the title, I am trying to export a variable font using the terminal and Fontmake but this error is still giving me a problem.
fontmake: Error: In 'Desktop/OTWalla/DesignSpace-UFO/OT_Walla.designspace': Generating fonts from Designspace failed: /Users/David/Desktop/OTWalla/DesignSpace-UFO/masters/OTWalla-Black.ufo/features.fea:3:1: Expected glyph class name
Does anyone have any idea?
At the moment there are no features or any OpenType options on the font.
Best,
M.

Hello Simon,
If we talk about features there is non on it, on Prefix, there is only this three line.0 -
Okay, I find the problem and the solution! it's from the .smcp in the font, when I delete them it works but when they're in the font I have this automatic feature code that apparently is the problem. There was a glyph tag in them, after deleting all of it, it works fine!
