Fontbakery report

Fontbakery 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
  • WARN Could not find ftxvalidator. [code: ftxvalidator-available]

[12] JosefinSans-Italic[wght].ttf
🔥 FAIL: Name table strings must not contain the string 'Reserved Font Name'.
--- Rationale ---
Some designers adopt the "Reserved Font Name" clause of the OFL license. This
means that the original author reserves the rights to the family name and other
people can only distribute modified versions using a different family name.
Google Fonts published updates to the fonts in the collection in order to fix
issues and/or implement further improvements to the fonts. It is important to
keep the family name so that users of the webfonts can benefit from the updates.
Since it would forbid such usage scenario, all families in the GFonts collection
are required to not adopt the RFN clause.
This check ensures "Reserved Font Name" is not mentioned in the name table.
  • 🔥 FAIL Name table entry ("Copyright 2010 The Josefin Sans Project Authors (https://github.com/ThomasJockin/JosefinSansFont-master), with Reserved Font Name "Josefin Sans".") contains "Reserved Font Name". This is an error except in a few specific rare cases. [code: rfn]
🔥 FAIL: Ensure METADATA.pb does not use escaped strings.
--- Rationale ---
In some cases we've seen designer names and other fields with escaped strings in
METADATA files.
Nowadays the strings can be full unicode strings and do not need escaping.
🔥 FAIL: METADATA.pb: Designer is listed with the correct name on the Google Fonts catalog of designers?
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 OS/2 VendorID value 'NONE' is not yet recognized. If you registered it recently, then it's safe to ignore this warning message. Otherwise, you should set it to your own unique 4 character code, and register it with Microsoft at https://www.microsoft.com/typography/links/vendorlist.aspx
    [code: unknown]
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

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.

WARN: Copyright notice on METADATA.pb should not contain 'Reserved Font Name'.
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 This font lacks caret position values for ligature glyphs on its GDEF table. [code: lacks-caret-pos]
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 GPOS table lacks kerning info for the following non-ligated sequences:

    • f + i
    • i + l

    [code: lacks-kern-info]

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 The DESCRIPTION.en_us.html file in this family has not changed in comparison to the latest font release on the google/fonts github repo.
    Please consider mentioning note-worthy improvements made to the family recently. [code: description-not-updated]
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 This font file does not have a 'meta' table. [code: lacks-meta-table]
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.
  • WARN Glyph '.notdef' should contain a drawing, but it is empty. [code: empty]

Fontbakery lists a FAIL when the escape character is used (fonttools/fontbakery#2932). So this change removes the conflict of " and ' so that escape characters aren't necessary anymore.

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 This font file does not have a 'meta' table. [code: lacks-meta-table]
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.
  • WARN Glyph '.notdef' should contain a drawing, but it is empty. [code: empty]
WARN: Does the font have a DSIG table?
--- Rationale ---
Microsoft Office 2013 and below products expect fonts to have a digital
signature declared in a DSIG table in order to implement OpenType features. The
EOL date for Microsoft Office 2013 products is 4/11/2023. This issue does not
impact Microsoft Office 2016 and above products.
As we approach the EOL date, it is now considered better to completely remove
the table.
But if you still want your font to support OpenType features on Office 2013,
then you may find it handy to add a fake signature on a dummy DSIG table by
running one of the helper scripts provided at
https://github.com/googlefonts/gftools
Reference: https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/issues/1845
  • WARN This font has a digital signature (DSIG table) which is only required - even if only a dummy placeholder - on old programs like MS Office 2013 in order to work properly.
    The current recommendation is to completely remove the DSIG table. [code: found-DSIG]

🔥 FAIL: Name table strings must not contain the string 'Reserved Font Name'.
--- Rationale ---
Some designers adopt the "Reserved Font Name" clause of the OFL license. This
means that the original author reserves the rights to the family name and other
people can only distribute modified versions using a different family name.
Google Fonts published updates to the fonts in the collection in order to fix
issues and/or implement further improvements to the fonts. It is important to
keep the family name so that users of the webfonts can benefit from the updates.
Since it would forbid such usage scenario, all families in the GFonts collection
are required to not adopt the RFN clause.
This check ensures "Reserved Font Name" is not mentioned in the name table.
  • 🔥 FAIL Name table entry ("Copyright 2010 The Josefin Sans Project Authors (https://github.com/ThomasJockin/JosefinSansFont-master), with Reserved Font Name "Josefin Sans".") contains "Reserved Font Name". This is an error except in a few specific rare cases. [code: rfn]
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 OS/2 VendorID value 'NONE' is not yet recognized. If you registered it recently, then it's safe to ignore this warning message. Otherwise, you should set it to your own unique 4 character code, and register it with Microsoft at https://www.microsoft.com/typography/links/vendorlist.aspx

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 Please consider using HTTPS URLs at name table entry [plat=3, enc=1, name=13] [code: http-in-description]

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:

WARN: Copyright notice on METADATA.pb should not contain 'Reserved Font Name'.
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 This font lacks caret position values for ligature glyphs on its GDEF table. [code: lacks-caret-pos]
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 GPOS table lacks kerning info for the following non-ligated sequences:

    • f + f
    • f + i
    • i + f
    • f + l
    • l + f
    • i + l

    [code: lacks-kern-info]

WARN: A static fonts directory with at least two fonts must accompany variable fonts
--- Rationale ---
Variable font family directories kept in the google/fonts git repo may include a
static/ subdir containing static fonts.
These files are meant to be served for users that still lack support for
variable fonts in their web browsers.
  • WARN Please consider adding a subdirectory called "static/" and including in it static font files. [code: missing]
WARN: METADATA.pb: Designers are listed correctly on the Google Fonts catalog?
--- Rationale ---
Google Fonts has a catalog of designers.
This check ensures that the online entries of the catalog can be found based on
the designer names listed on the METADATA.pb file.
It also validates the URLs and file formats are all correctly set.
  • WARN Designer Santiago Orozco does not have a webpage link on the catalog. Please consider providing one. [code: missing-link]
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,
