'CAN'T STORE THIS VALUE' error message

When trying to export a font I keep getting this message:
'Can't store this value'
I've tried all kinds of troubleshooting. The parameters/naming conventions of the font are the same as others in the same family, which had no issue. Anyone know what is causing this error message?

One or more glyphs probably have a huge advance width.

Can you clarify what you mean by 'advance width'?
This is actually a professionally produced font (Avant Garde DemiBold) that I am just renaming for menu purposes.

Look for x maximum on the Font Information dialogue,
- X Maxiimum.png (12.58 KiB) Viewed 3545 times
or sort the glyphs by advanced width.
- Sort by Advance Width.png (22.86 KiB) Viewed 3545 times

Turns out it was the .notdef character - it looked normal but was somehow listed as a Max Advance Width of 62,465. Could not find what was making it that wide. I pasted in a .notdef from another family and it saved!
Thanks for your help!

It is an error in the original font.
