Have a running project that I went into to add security to a button. I cannot save the project, as I get this error. I am doing searches for possible solutions, but would love some help. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/b/fb5a59aa1f994327fe93c07db9f5ea0867fc6942.png) ---

That looks familiar.... Yup: [https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/search?q=synthetica%20serialization%20order%3Alatest](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/search?q=synthetica%20serialization%20order%3Alatest) You should open a support ticket. (You will almost certainly need to upgrade.) ---

Clues from the other topics suggest there's a font that needs tweaking.
