Meaning of check results:
- 💥 An ERROR is something wrong with FontBakery itself, possibly a bug.
- 🔥 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!)

Check if each glyph has the recommended amount of contours.
⚠️ OriginalSurfer-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: uni00AD Contours detected: 1 Expected: 0 - Glyph name: fi Contours detected: 2 Expected: 3 - Glyph name: fl Contours detected: 1 Expected: 2 - Glyph name: uni00AD Contours detected: 1 Expected: 0

Space and non-breaking space have the same width?
🔥 OriginalSurfer-Regular.ttf
- 🔥 FAIL
Space and non-breaking space have differing width: The space glyph named space is 594 font units wide, non-breaking space named (nonbreakingspace) is 573 font units wide, and both should be positive and the same. GlyphsApp has "Sidebearing arithmetic" (https://glyphsapp.com/tutorials/spacing) which allows you to set the non-breaking space width to always equal the space width. [code: different-widths]
Check math signs have the same width.
⚠️ OriginalSurfer-Regular.ttf
- ⚠️ WARN
The most common width is 893 among a set of 2 math glyphs. The following math glyphs have a different width, though:
Width = 987: plus
Width = 1081: equal
Width = 1169: logicalnot
Width = 1047: plusminus
Width = 997: multiply
