Super short description of the Font Family:

Ponomar is a contemporary Church Slavonic font that reproduces the typeface used in editions published by the Synodal Press of the Russian Orthodox Church in the early twentieth century. It is presently used in various liturgical books published by the Moscow Patriarchate. It also contains characters needed to typeset liturgical texts in Romanian (Moldovan) Cyrillic, Aleut, and Sakha (Yakut).

Requirements:

By opening this issue, I confirm the project meets the following requirements:

• The entire font project is available in a Github repository (repo) and licensed under the OFL
• The source files are available in the repo
• I am the sole copyright author of the entire project, or, all other copyright authors have licensed their work to me under the OFL
• There are no "Reserved Font Names" in the OFL license information, or in the project documentation of any known upstream projects. If there are RFNs, they are not used in whole or in part in this family name, or, I want to discuss how Google can work with my use of them.
• The family name is unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com
• The font supports at least the Google Fonts 'Latin Core' glyphset from github.com/googlefonts/glyphsets (direct link)
• The repo has the Google Fonts preferred upstream repo structure
• I have read, agree with, and comply with, the full Google Fonts contributing requirements
• I will maintain the repository and participate in the onboarding process (addressing, solving, and responding to issues, merging pull requests, etc)

This looks good and I would like to see it in GF! To help the process:

• Please set the font version to be in the format X.YYYY e.g. 1.003.
• Set OS/2 typoAscender to 955. (OS2TypoAscent value in FontForge)
• Change the PostScript name to Ponomar-Regular
• Set the copyright to the expected format (Copyright 2013-2024 The Ponomar Project Authors (https://github.com/slavonic/ponomar)
• Set Use Typo Metrics - OS2_UseTypoMetrics in FontForge, if you're working in the UFO see https://googlefonts.github.io/gf-guide/metrics.html#5-use_typo_metrics-must-be-enabled
• Remove the OS2Vendor

The output file name is a problem with the builder, I'll get that fixed.

Hi @simoncozens, thanks for your response. Why set the typoAscender to 955? Then the diacritical marks on the capital letters get cut off.

[simoncozens]

In which case, ignore that warning. :-) Vertical metrics is a tricky balance; our policy is at https://googlefonts.github.io/gf-guide/metrics.html.

Done.

Wait for a new push for this one. The author adjusted the spacing.
