open contours

[Jason]

I'm using the quick test feature to look at the font I'm working on, but it comes up with a warning saying "some glyphs in the font that is being exported contain open contours...." but I can't find the glyph that is casuing the problem. I have the option "hightlight glyphs that contain open contours" checked, but I never see anything highlighted.  Any suggestions for how to find the bad glyph so I can fix it.

- Thanks

well i found out my problem.  By highlighting the whole font and moving it temporarily i found that i had several duplicate lines underneath some of the fonts that were "open". So I deleted those duplicate lines and everything works find now.

Yes -this is a bad one... points on top of points or paths on top of paths will kill you... also twisted BCPs and of course broken paths which are not always easy to spot. A loose point outside the em square will get you the same way.
