Noto Sans Imperial Aramaic: Version 2.002; ttfautohint (v1.8.4.7-5d5b) added

[simoncozens]

Taken from the upstream repo https://github.com/notofonts/imperial-aramaic at commit notofonts/imperial-aramaic@f32017c.

PR Checklist:

• Family categorization tags collected from the type design team with the Categories Form
• Minisite_url definition in the METADATA.pb file for commissioned projects
• Primary_script definition in the METADATA.pb file for all projects that have a primary non-Latin based language support target
• Fontbakery checks are reviewed and failing checks are resolved in collaboration with the upstream font development team
• Diffenator2 regression checks for revisions on all projects that are currently in production
• Designers bio info have to be present in the designer catalog (at least an issue should be opened for tracking this, if they are not)
• Check designers order in metadata.pb, since the first one of the list appears as “principal designer”
• Social media formatted visual assets for all new commissioned projects in the Drive directory, communicate with the repository Maintainer so that they can push this content to the Social Media tracker spreadsheet
• Social media content draft for all new commissioned projects in the Drive directory and Social Media tracker spreadsheet, communicate with the repository Maintainer so that they can push this content to the Social Media tracker spreadsheet

Experimental checks

These won't break the CI job for now, but will become effective after some time if nobody raises any concern.

⚠️ WARN Check if each glyph has the recommended amount of contours.

• ⚠️ WARN

  This check inspects the glyph outlines and detects the total number of contours in each of them. The expected values are infered from the typical ammounts of contours observed in a large collection of reference font families. The divergences listed below may simply indicate a significantly different design on some of your glyphs. On the other hand, some of these may flag actual bugs in the font such as glyphs mapped to an incorrect codepoint. Please consider reviewing the design and codepoint assignment of these to make sure they are correct.

The following glyphs do not have the recommended number of contours:

- Glyph name: aogonek	Contours detected: 3	Expected: 2


Glyph name: uogonek	Contours detected: 2	Expected: 1


Glyph name: aogonek	Contours detected: 3	Expected: 2


Glyph name: uogonek	Contours detected: 2	Expected: 1

⚠️ WARN Check math signs have the same width.

• ⚠️ WARN

  The most common width is 572 among a set of 6 math glyphs.
  The following math glyphs have a different width, though:

⚠️ WARN Check for codepoints not covered by METADATA subsets.

• ⚠️ WARN

  The following codepoints supported by the font are not covered by
  any subsets defined in the font's metadata file, and will never
  be served. You can solve this by either manually adding additional
  subset declarations to METADATA.pb, or by editing the glyphset
  definitions.

• U+02C9 MODIFIER LETTER MACRON: not included in any glyphset definition
• U+02D8 BREVE: try adding one of: canadian-aboriginal, yi
• U+02D9 DOT ABOVE: try adding one of: canadian-aboriginal, yi

@simoncozens there is a tofu in Latin

[simoncozens]

The Latin tofu is fine; LATIN SMALL LETTER ENG and LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ENG are no longer part of the GF Latin Core. (Maybe our test text should be updated.)

[vv-monsalve]

(Maybe our test text should be updated.)

This sample text is created dynamically based on the languages supported by the font to deliver multiple strings that could reflect them.

@m4rc1e what could be done here?
