Reviewed this by the way in my most recent update, and it seems like the GDEF and GPOS tables are missing from Decovar because there are no features or kerning in the font.

Totally willing to add dummy data to get around this error, or just to let it stand as an example.

If a font fails to pass OTS then chrome and Firefox will not render it, simple as that. The error suggests to me there is a table but if it's blank then maybe just kill the table all together. Or, if it's not there, then try to add dummy data so it will pass :)

This seems related to googlefonts/fontmake#229

Looks like a spike, overflow of delta distance. Do you have a location for it?

OTS from last year did not support variable fonts which caused these errors, but it does for a while now. Running against OTS master gives:

$ ots-sanitize DecovarAlpha-VF.ttf
