Fontbakery reportFontbakery version: 0.8.0 [1] Family checks⚠ WARN: Is the command `ftxvalidator` (Apple Font Tool Suite) available?--- Rationale --- There's no reasonable (and legal) way to run the command `ftxvalidator` of the Apple Font Tool Suite on a non-macOS machine. I.e. on GNU+Linux or Windows etc. If Font Bakery is not running on an OSX machine, the machine running Font Bakery could access `ftxvalidator` on OSX, e.g. via ssh or a remote procedure call (rpc). There's an ssh example implementation at: https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/blob/main/prebuilt/workarounds /ftxvalidator/ssh-implementation/ftxvalidator
[13] PublicSans-Italic[wght].ttf🔥 FAIL: Check license file has good copyright string.--- Rationale --- An OFL.txt file's first line should be the font copyright e.g: "Copyright 2019 The Montserrat Project Authors (https://github.com/julietaula/montserrat)"
🔥 FAIL: Check OFL body text is correct.--- Rationale --- Check OFL body text is correct. Often users will accidently delete parts of the body text.
🔥 FAIL: Check copyright namerecords match license file.--- Rationale --- A known licensing description must be provided in the NameID 14 (LICENSE DESCRIPTION) entries of the name table. The source of truth for this check (to determine which license is in use) is a file placed side-by-side to your font project including the licensing terms. Depending on the chosen license, one of the following string snippets is expected to be found on the NameID 13 (LICENSE DESCRIPTION) entries of the name table: - "This Font Software is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. This license is available with a FAQ at: https://scripts.sil.org/OFL" - "Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0" - "Licensed under the Ubuntu Font Licence 1.0." Currently accepted licenses are Apache or Open Font License. For a small set of legacy families the Ubuntu Font License may be acceptable as well. When in doubt, please choose OFL for new font projects.
🔥 FAIL: Copyright notices match canonical pattern in METADATA.pb--- Rationale --- The expected pattern for the copyright string adheres to the following rules: * It must say "Copyright" followed by a 4 digit year (optionally followed by a hyphen and another 4 digit year) * Then it must say "The <familyname> Project Authors" * And within parentheses, a URL for a git repository must be provided * The check is case insensitive and does not validate whether the familyname is correct, even though we'd expect it is (and we may soon update the check to validate that aspect as well!) Here is an example of a valid copyright string: "Copyright 2017 The Archivo Black Project Authors (https://github.com/Omnibus-Type/ArchivoBlack)"

⚠ WARN: Checking OS/2 achVendID.--- Rationale --- Microsoft keeps a list of font vendors and their respective contact info. This list is updated regularly and is indexed by a 4-char "Vendor ID" which is stored in the achVendID field of the OS/2 table. Registering your ID is not mandatory, but it is a good practice since some applications may display the type designer / type foundry contact info on some dialog and also because that info will be visible on Microsoft's website: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/vendors/ This check verifies whether or not a given font's vendor ID is registered in that list or if it has some of the default values used by the most common font editors. Each new FontBakery release includes a cached copy of that list of vendor IDs. If you registered recently, you're safe to ignore warnings emitted by this check, since your ID will soon be included in one of our upcoming releases.
⚠ WARN: Is there kerning info for non-ligated sequences?--- Rationale --- Fonts with ligatures should have kerning on the corresponding non-ligated sequences for text where ligatures aren't used (eg https://github.com/impallari/Raleway/issues/14).
⚠ WARN: On a family update, the DESCRIPTION.en_us.html file should ideally also be updated.--- Rationale --- We want to ensure that any significant changes to the font family are properly mentioned in the DESCRIPTION file. In general, it means that the contents of the DESCRIPTION.en_us.html file will typically change if when font files are updated. Please treat this check as a reminder to do so whenever appropriate!
⚠ WARN: Ensure Stylistic Sets have description.--- Rationale --- Stylistic sets should provide description text. Programs such as InDesign, TextEdit and Inkscape use that info to display to the users so that they know what a given stylistic set offers.
⚠ WARN: Ensure fonts have ScriptLangTags declared on the 'meta' table.--- Rationale --- The OpenType 'meta' table originated at Apple. Microsoft added it to OT with just two DataMap records: - dlng: comma-separated ScriptLangTags that indicate which scripts, or languages and scripts, with possible variants, the font is designed for - slng: comma-separated ScriptLangTags that indicate which scripts, or languages and scripts, with possible variants, the font supports The slng structure is intended to describe which languages and scripts the font overall supports. For example, a Traditional Chinese font that also contains Latin characters, can indicate Hant,Latn, showing that it supports Hant, the Traditional Chinese variant of the Hani script, and it also supports the Latn script The dlng structure is far more interesting. A font may contain various glyphs, but only a particular subset of the glyphs may be truly "leading" in the design, while other glyphs may have been included for technical reasons. Such a Traditional Chinese font could only list Hant there, showing that it’s designed for Traditional Chinese, but the font would omit Latn, because the developers don’t think the font is really recommended for purely Latin-script use. The tags used in the structures can comprise just script, or also language and script. For example, if a font has Bulgarian Cyrillic alternates in the locl feature for the cyrl BGR OT languagesystem, it could also indicate in dlng explicitly that it supports bul-Cyrl. (Note that the scripts and languages in meta use the ISO language and script codes, not the OpenType ones). This check ensures that the font has the meta table containing the slng and dlng structures. All families in the Google Fonts collection should contain the 'meta' table. Windows 10 already uses it when deciding on which fonts to fall back to. The Google Fonts API and also other environments could use the data for smarter filtering. Most importantly, those entries should be added to the Noto fonts. In the font making process, some environments store this data in external files already. But the meta table provides a convenient way to store this inside the font file, so some tools may add the data, and unrelated tools may read this data. This makes the solution much more portable and universal.
⚠ WARN: Are there any misaligned on-curve points?
--- Rationale --- This check heuristically looks for on-curve points which are close to, but do not sit on, significant boundary coordinates. For example, a point which has a Y-coordinate of 1 or -1 might be a misplaced baseline point. As well as the baseline, here we also check for points near the x-height (but only for lower case Latin letters), cap-height, ascender and descender Y coordinates. Not all such misaligned curve points are a mistake, and sometimes the design may call for points in locations near the boundaries. As this check is liable to generate significant numbers of false positives, it will pass if there are more than 100 reported misalignments.

@aaronbell this one is a tricky one on the legal side, I remember some license issue that was preventing us from publishing an update, and designer didn't answer my email about it. Maybe it's a good opportunity for @davelab6 to contact them and see if we can move forward on this. In any case, we can't merge before they approve your PR and merge it into their repo. |
Please remove the static fonts |

|
I close this cause we are waiting for the upstream's approval and we can't merge until they merged the license modification. I opened an issue to not forget to track it #3953 but until then, no need opened PRs to lay around for eternity. |
Updating font version to 2.00 release, and adding a corrected STAT table (https://github.com/aaronbell/public-sans).
PR'd to upstream.
Font files rebuilt.
