FontBakery Check Report

If you think a check is flawed or have an idea for a check, please file an issue at https://github.com/fonttools/fontbakery/issues and remember to include a pointer to the repo and branch you're checking.

DEPRECATION WARNING

By late-December 2024, FontBakery version 0.13.0 introduced a new naming scheme for the check-IDs.

Fontbakery detected usage of old IDs and performed an automatic backwards-compatibility translation for you.
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/outline_jaggy_segments
- com.google.fonts/check/version_bump
- com.google.fonts/check/outline_semi_vertical
- com.google.fonts/check/outline_colinear_vectors
- com.google.fonts/check/ttx_roundtrip
- com.google.fonts/check/outline_alignment_miss
- com.google.fonts/check/outline_short_segments
- com.google.fonts/check/fontdata_namecheck

Summary

💥 ERROR	☠ FATAL	🔥 FAIL	⚠️ WARN	⏩ SKIP	ℹ️ INFO	✅ PASS
2	0	4	11	55	6	160
1%	0%	2%	5%	23%	3%	67%

Meaning of check results:

💥 An ERROR is something wrong with FontBakery itself, possibly a bug.
☠ A FATAL is an extremely severe issue that must be addressed immediately.
🔥 A FAIL is a problem with the font that must be fixed.
⚠️ A WARN is something that you should consider addressing.
ℹ️ An INFO result simply prints something useful. Typically stats.
✅ A PASS means the font looks good for the given checking routine.
⏩ And a SKIP happens when the check does not apply to the given font.

If you get ERRORs, please help us improve the tool by reporting them at our issue tracker.

(but other kinds of bug reports and/or feature requests are also always welcome, of course!)

OpenType Specification Checks

⚠️⚠️⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩

Check GDEF mark glyph class doesn't have characters that are not marks.

Check ID: <FontBakeryCheck:opentype/gdef_non_mark_chars>

⚠️ NotoSansLimbu-Regular.ttf

⚠️ WARN
The following non-mark characters should not be in the GDEF mark glyph class: U+1929, U+192A and U+192B
[code: non-mark-chars]

Check glyphs in mark glyph class are non-spacing.

Check ID: <FontBakeryCheck:opentype/gdef_spacing_marks>

⚠️ NotoSansLimbu-Regular.ttf

⚠️ WARN
The following glyphs seem to be spacing (because they have width > 0 on the hmtx table) so they may be in the GDEF mark glyph class by mistake, or they should have zero width instead: uni1921 (U+1921), uni1929 (U+1929) and uni192B (U+192B)
[code: spacing-mark-glyphs]

Universal Profile Checks

🔥🔥⚠️⚠️⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩ℹ️ℹ️

EXPERIMENTAL CHECK - Since 2024/12/28
Check base characters have non-zero advance width.

Check ID: <FontBakeryCheck:base_has_width>

🔥 NotoSansLimbu-Regular.ttf

🔥 FAIL
The following glyphs had zero advance width: - uni192A (U+192A)
[code: zero-width-bases]

Check if each glyph has the recommended amount of contours.

Check ID: <FontBakeryCheck:contour_count>

⚠️ NotoSansLimbu-Regular.ttf

⚠️ 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
```
[code: contour-count]

Check math signs have the same width.

Check ID: <FontBakeryCheck:math_signs_width>

⚠️ NotoSansLimbu-Regular.ttf

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

Width = 322: minus
[code: width-outliers]

Glyph names are all valid?

Check ID: <FontBakeryCheck:valid_glyphnames>

🔥 NotoSansLimbu-Regular.ttf

🔥 FAIL
The following glyph names do not comply with naming conventions: danda-deva

A glyph name must be entirely comprised of characters from the following set: A-Z a-z 0-9 .(period) (underscore). A glyph name must not start with a digit or period. There are a few exceptions such as the special glyph ".notdef". The glyph names "twocents", "a1", and "" are all valid, while "2cents" and ".twocents" are not.
