Issue:
can't roundtrip glyphs2ufo and ufo2glyphs for a particular Rubik-Italic.glyphs file
When I run glyphs2ufo on this file, and then run ufo2glyphs again without changing anything I get an error (see below). Usually this process works without issue, but just one this one file I have a problem. For whatever reason this only happens on the Italic and not on the Roman. I've hit this error while working on making variable font versions of the family for Google Fonts and Dave and Marc said I should report it here, since it looks like a bug. Thanks!
