Hi Owen, To begin with, glad to meet you!
What an annoying problem. Here's what I could suggest: - Try 'git -xdf' to clean your repository entirely, removing any untracked or ignored files. If you're touching fonts, it may be that some build artifacts have to be removed (likewise, people often need such a procedure or a 'make doc-clean' for 'make doc' to succeed after changes in the documentation build system). Beware if you have important files (a dry run is advised, using -xdfn). - I'm puzzled on what to think of
