Taken from the upstream repo https://github.com/aaronbell/chiron-hei-hk-gf at commit aaronbell/chiron-hei-hk-gf@c1531d7.

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

OK, so this was a bit of a cluster that needed sorting out. Essentially the font is based on Noto Sans and built with AFDKO, then converted to UFO, rebuilt as a variable TTF and then had a number of tables overridden with the original tables from the otf version.

So I took the TTF binaries provided and rebuilt the sources as glyphspackage, made a number of corrections in the metadata and fixed interpolation errors, then got it building again. There's some oddities (like path direction) that I'm not sure how to address, but all the major FAILS have been resolved.

One note – I purposefully changed the name of the font from Chiron Hei HK ExtraLight to Chiron Hei HK in order to avoid the 32 character bug FAIL, but it has resulted in other fails.... If you'd rather we can return to that naming convention.

HI @aaronbell, I'll follow the same structure as Emma did for the review of these CJK fonts, with the same note that I don't know the context and agreements with this font, so I prefer to check everything, I just need some confirmation :

Review - Part I: Fontbakery

🔥 FAIL Check font names are correct
* 🔥 **FAIL**

Font names are incorrect:

nameID current expected
Family Name Chiron Hei HK Chiron Hei HK ExtraLight
Subfamily Name Regular Regular
Full Name Chiron Hei HK Chiron Hei HK ExtraLight
Postscript Name ChironHeiHK-Regular ChironHeiHK-ExtraLight
Typographic Family Name Chiron Hei HK Chiron Hei HK
Typographic Subfamily Name ExtraLight ExtraLight
[code: bad-names]

This is related to your note above. Yes, we expect the nameID 1 to be consistent with the font origin. However, the font bug that limits the name length could be relevant in this case.

🔥 FAIL METADATA.pb font.full_name and font.post_script_name fields have equivalent values ?
* 🔥 **FAIL**

METADATA.pb font full_name = "Chiron Hei HK" does not match post_script_name = "ChironHeiHK-Regular"

[code: mismatch]

For the Warns, please check and confirm about the following:

⚠️ WARN Check mark characters are in GDEF mark glyph class.

Review - Part II: Outlines / Spacing

There are also some space issues in this font, with some negative sidebearings. Find here a .txt file that has the full list reported, some of the reported cases can be ignored, but most of them need revision/confirmation.

⚠️ WARN Check mark characters are in GDEF mark glyph class.
I don't think the font has proper anchors set up to support adding these into the mark glyph class, so think it would be fine to leave them as-is.

⚠️ WARN Does the font contain chws and vchw features?
No I don't believe it does

⚠️ WARN Check font contains no unreachable glyphs
This font is based on Adobe's Source Han Sans, which was built with the Adobe-Japan standard in mind. However, that standard is not usable in TTF format, which means there's a number of glyphs which are non-unicode and become unreachable. I could strip these out for the file size savings, or leave them in in case someone wants to go looking for a specific glyph to include.

⚠️ WARN Check the direction of the outermost contour in each glyph
It appears that Glyphs' conversion from binary to source format results in some glyphs being given a clock-wise contour and others receive a counter-clockwise contour. However, if I run "Correct Path Direction on the glyphset, it will also re-order the contours, leading to master incompatibility. Is there an easy way to set all of the contours in a Glyphs source to be the same direction without re-ordering?

Negative sidebearings

I looked through the list and none struck me as particularly egregious or problematic. Most were minor overages. The Korean glyphset are that way as they're intended as combining variants, so are set with significant negative sidebearings to enable them to overly the glyph to their left.

We are waiting on confirmation from MS on the spotted bugs. Based on that feedback, we'll decide whether to ship the font as static.

OK, so this was a bit of a cluster that needed sorting out. Essentially the font is based on Noto Sans and built with AFDKO, then converted to UFO, rebuilt as a variable TTF and then had a number of tables overridden with the original tables from the otf version.

So I took the TTF binaries provided and rebuilt the sources as glyphspackage, made a number of corrections in the metadata and fixed interpolation errors, then got it building again. There's some oddities (like path direction) that I'm not sure how to address, but all the major FAILS have been resolved.

Hello, the author of Chiron Hei HK here. Thanks for the work in bringing it to Google Fonts. Is there anything I may do on my side to streamline the process? It looks like updating to a new version will not be easy, actually there's a newer version that hasn't been pushed to the repo.

Also, does the need of doing "corrections in the metadata" and fixing "interpolation errors" indicate there's something wrong with the build?

Thanks for the follow up. I'd like to write a bit on the build process of this font, and hope this can clear things up a little..

This font is based on Noto Sans CJK (Source Han Sans). Instead of modifying directly on the source files and save it as my project, I maintain a list of "what I'd like to modify from the upstream". Every time the font is built it all starts from Noto CJK, including the glyph set (in .ps) and the feature files. The steps are roughly as follow:

  1. For each master, prepare the modified glyph set, then integrate it into the original one. The result is a master postscript file in .ps format. Also prepare the files that is necessary to build the master OTF (CMap, features, etc.).
  2. Compile the master OTFs from the new .ps masters with the cmap, feature files, etc.
  3. Build the final CFF2 VF (.otf) from the masters OTFs.

The intention is that whenever a new version of Noto Sans CJK is released I just need to download it and build from the new upstream source files and my font will have all fixes and updates from the upstream.

A special version is needed for Google Fonts because the original font contains a custom axis that isn't in the axis registry, but the process is the same.

I understand that the need of replacing font tables exported from the CFF2 VF file after building the TTF increases complexity and raises uncertainty, so I've tried working on a better solution and have updated the repo with one major change - the master UFOs are now produced from the master OTFs using the defcon library. The result is that kernings and other feature data are also exported, and the font can now be built from the UFOs using a fontmake command. No need for font table replacement anymore. Also, glyphs in the UFOs are now in the original cubic format. Actually I tried converting the UFOs to quadratic format but this results in incompatible masters. Another problem is that glyphs are named with CID values, and CIDs in this font is not stable (the CID of a codepoint can change by version because of the building process). But if it works, it should be better than the previous approach for those who want to build the font from source.

The above notes can also be applied to its Serif counterpart, Chiron Sung HK.

@emmamarichal, From the name ID issue, I think yes, Marc seems to have concluded. We need to confirm we have the green light to continue with it.

Now, IIU currently the font has other issues at the source/glyphs level that need to be solved.
But better to confirm with @aaronbell
