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
[12] YanoneKaffeesatz[wght].ttf⚠ WARN: Does DESCRIPTION file contain broken links?--- Rationale --- The snippet of HTML in the DESCRIPTION.en_us.html file is added to the font family webpage on the Google Fonts website. For that reason, all hyperlinks in it must be properly working.
⚠ 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: 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.
⚠ WARN: License URL matches License text on name table?--- Rationale --- A known license URL must be provided in the NameID 14 (LICENSE INFO URL) entry of the name table. The source of truth for this check is the licensing text found on the NameID 13 entry (LICENSE DESCRIPTION). The string snippets used for detecting licensing terms are: - "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.
⚠ WARN: Are there caret positions declared for every ligature?--- Rationale --- All ligatures in a font must have corresponding caret (text cursor) positions defined in the GDEF table, otherwhise, users may experience issues with caret rendering. If using GlyphsApp or UFOs, ligature carets can be defined as anchors with names starting with 'caret_'. These can be compiled with fontmake as of version v2.4.0.
⚠ 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: Combined length of family and style must not exceed 27 characters.--- Rationale --- According to a GlyphsApp tutorial [1], in order to make sure all versions of Windows recognize it as a valid font file, we must make sure that the concatenated length of the familyname (NameID.FONT_FAMILY_NAME) and style (NameID.FONT_SUBFAMILY_NAME) strings in the name table do not exceed 20 characters. After discussing the problem in more detail at `FontBakery issue #2179 [2] we decided that allowing up to 27 chars would still be on the safe side, though.

Please take a look at the conversation at fonttools/fontbakery#2179 in order to understand the reasoning behind these name table records max-length criteria. [code: too-long] ⚠ WARN: METADATA.pb: Designer is listed with the correct name on the Google Fonts catalog of designers?
⚠ 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: Font contains '.notdef' as its first glyph?--- Rationale --- The OpenType specification v1.8.2 recommends that the first glyph is the '.notdef' glyph without a codepoint assigned and with a drawing. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec /recom#glyph-0-the-notdef-glyph Pre-v1.8, it was recommended that fonts should also contain 'space', 'CR' and '.null' glyphs. This might have been relevant for MacOS 9 applications.
