Font Validation report
thlinard opened this issue · 14 comments
I tested all the fonts (minus the duplicate, i.e. Alef, EkMukta, JosefinSansStd, MrBedfort, MrsSaintDelafield, Siemreap, and TerminalDosis) from the GF repo in the Font Book application (macOS 10.12.6). Here the Font Validation report:

I didn't checked the mentioned issues further.
Fonts install and validate fine on OS 10.11.6. I think rebuilding sources in Glyphs App will resolve the issue.
Artifika fixed in cyrealtype/Artifika@4ae1930 Thanks Alexei!
Aubrey fixed in cyrealtype/Aubrey@a2d42ee Thanks @alexeiva!
Wire One (in fact, simply Wire now) fixed in cyrealtype/Wire-One@1e29b98 Thanks @alexeiva!
It should stay Wire One, I fixed that. Thanks for spotting
Brawler fixed here https://github.com/cyrealtype/Brawler/releases/tag/v1.100
cyrealtype/Brawler@b3737a7
Thanks @thlinard, I am going to work on this list as well. I'll start from the bottom so hopefully we don't do the same thing. :)
Oh, I only maintain the list up-to-date. You do the hard work. 😄
But if you don't want to do the same thing, it might be better to get in touch with Alexei, if he still has plans for updates.
Ah, ha, okay. 😆 Thanks!
@alexeiva I'll just skip any Cyreal fonts on this list for now, okay?
Okay, looks like I've gone through them all. Thanks for starting the ball rolling, @thlinard.
Thank you very much!
