DEPRECATION WARNING

This automatic translation will be deprecated in the next major release.

Please start using the new check-IDs as documented at /Lib/fontbakery/legacy_checkids.py

The following legacy check-IDs were detected:
- com.google.fonts/check/fontdata_namecheck
- com.google.fonts/check/version_bump
- com.google.fonts/check/outline_semi_vertical
- com.google.fonts/check/outline_alignment_miss
- com.google.fonts/check/ttx_roundtrip
