Below are the noteworthy changes from each release. A more detailed list of changes is available in the corresponding milestones for each release in the Github issue tracker (https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/milestones?state=closed). ## Upcoming release: 0.13.0 (2024-Nov-15) ### Noteworthy code-changes - Full fix for bug where check details with more severe status would be missing from the HTML report if a check with the same ID but less severe status was omitted (issue #4687) ### New checks #### On the OpenType profile - **[opentype/fvar/axis_ranges_correct]:** Replaces **opentype/varfont/ital_range**, **opentype/varfont/slnt_range**, **opentype/varfont/wdth_valid_range** and **opentype/varfont/wght_valid_range** - **[opentype/varfont/valid_nameids]:** Replaces **opentype/varfont/valid_axis_nameid**, **opentype/varfont/valid_postscript_nameid**, and **opentype/varfont/valid_subfamily_nameid** ### Changes to existing checks ### On the Universal profile - **[family/control_chars]:** renamed to **control_chars** as it is not realy a family-wide check. (issue #4896) - **[glyf_nested_components]** renamed to **nested_components**. ## 0.13.0a5 (2024-Nov-10) - **Users are encouraged to try this pre-release as we're approaching the date when we'll cut a final v0.13.0 release...** ### Previously experimental checks now made effective The dates indicate when each check was originally implemented as temporarily experimental. #### Promoted on Universal profile - 2024/Jul/17: **typoascender_exceeds_Agrave** #### Promoted on Google Fonts profile - 2024/May/22: **googlefonts/metadata/date_added** ### Changes to existing checks ### On the Universal profile - **[gsub/smallcaps_before_ligatures]:** renamed to **[smallcaps_before_ligatures]** (removing the `gsub/` prefix). ### Migration of checks #### Moved from Google Fonts to Universal profile - **[epar]**: The EPAR table is/was a way of expressing common licensing permissions and restrictions in metadata; while almost nothing supported it, Dave Crossland wonders that having this INFO-level check could help make it more popular. (issues #226 and #818) #### Moved from OpenType to Universal profile - **[gpos_kerning_info]:** The OpenType spec does not require that GPOS kerning to be present. (issue #4886) ## 0.13.0a4 (2024-Nov-06) ### Noteworthy release notes - Thanks Guido Ferreyra for updating the TypeNetwork profile based on its "pending_review" list of recent checks that had been added since his last review (summary of changes listed below). **Other profile owners should consider doing the same.** (PRs #4878 and #4882) #### TypeNetwork review: approved checks: - **case_mapping** - **dotted_circle** - **fontdata_namecheck** - **googlefonts/negative_advance_width** (cherry-picked from gfonts profile) - **googlefonts/STAT/axis_order** (cherry-picked from gfonts profile) - **gsub/smallcaps_before_ligatures** - **integer_ppem_if_hinted** - **legacy_accents** - **name/char_restrictions** - **no_debugging_tables** - **opentype/cff_ascii_strings** - **opentype/postscript_name** - **opentype/varfont/family_axis_ranges** - **opentype/weight_class_fvar** - **overlapping_path_segments** - **tabular_kerning** - **typoascender_exceeds_Agrave** - **typographic_family_name** - **varfont/duplexed_axis_reflow** - **varfont/instances_in_order** #### TypeNetwork review: excluded checks: - **caps_vertically_centered** - **cjk_not_enough_glyphs** - **cmap/format_12** - **color_cpal_brightness** (Color font check) - **colorfont_tables** (Color font check) - **designspace_has_consistent_codepoints** (TypeNetwork doesn’t check designspace files.) - **designspace_has_consistent_glyphset** (designspace files) - **designspace_has_consistent_groups** (designspace files) - **designspace_has_default_master** (designspace files) - **designspace_has_sources** (designspace files) - **empty_glyph_on_gid1_for_colrv0** (Color font check) - **file_size** - **fontval** (Temporarily disabled) - **hinting_impact** - **render_own_name** - **ufo_features_default_languagesystem** (.ufo files) - **ufolint** (TypeNetwork doesn’t check .ufo files.) - **ufo_recommended_fields** (.ufo files) - **ufo_required_fields** (.ufo files) - **ufo_unnecessary_fields** (.ufo files) - **varfont/unsupported_axes** (Despite discouraging its use, TN accepts fonts with ital axis.) - **vtt_volt_data** (Very similar to 'vttclean' check, it may be a good idea to merge them.) ### Previously experimental checks now made effective The dates indicate when each check was originally implemented as temporarily experimental. #### Promoted on Universal profile - 2024/Jun/04: **tabular_kerning** - 2024/Jun/10: **gsub/smallcaps_before_ligatures** #### Promoted on Opentype profile - 2024/Jun/20: **opentype/cff_ascii_strings** ### Changes to existing checks ### On the Google Fonts profile - **[googlefonts/fvar_instances]:** Skip if font has MORF axis. We allow designers to define their own custom fvar instances if the font has a Morph axis. They spend a significant amount of time drawing custom shapes for this axis so it is the right call imo. (PR #4880) - **[googlefonts/font_names]:** Raise WARN for families with MORF axis. (PR #4881) ### On the TypeNetwork profile - **[typenetwork/usweightclass]:** Fix weightclass check. (PR #4878) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[googlefonts/STAT/axisregistry]:** Allow MORF axis to have user defined AxisValues (PR #4874) ### Deprecated checks #### Removed from the OpenType profile - **DEPRECATED - [opentype/dsig]:** Merged into **[unwanted_tables]** on the `Universal` profile. (issue #4865) ## 0.13.0a3 (2024-Oct-25) ### Noteworthy release notes - **Everybody, please, pay attention!** There will soon be (possibly in a week or two) a stable release that changes a lot of check-IDs. Please try this pre-release in order to get used to the changes and fix any of your scripts that may be referencing these check-IDs! ### Deprecated checks #### Removed from the Google Fonts profile - **DEPRECATED - [googlefonts/name/unwanted_chars]:** (PR #4869 / issue #2854) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[name/ascii_only_entries]:** Renamed to **[name/char_restrictions]**; Improve and apply character repertoire restrictions only where necessary. (PR #4869 / issue #1718) - **[overlapping_path_segments]:** Downgrade to warn since its raising many false positives. (PR #4872) #### On the OpenType Profile - **[opentype/vendor_id]:** Pads the configured vendor ID to four characters, to accurately match what it will actually be in the OS/2 table. (PR # #4870) ## 0.13.0a2 (2024-Oct-16) ### Noteworthy code-changes - **[FontBakeryCondition:remote_styles]:** Fetching static fonts no longer raises an error. (PR # #4863) ### New checks #### Added to the Universal profile - **[overlapping_path_segments]:** Check there are no overlapping path segments. (PR #4853) ### Migration of checks #### Moved from OpenType to Universal profile - **[name/no_copyright_on_description]**: Adding copyright information to the description name entry is bad practice but is not a breach of specification. (issue #4857) - **[name/italic_names]**: This check uses the filename to determine whether the font should have various italic bits set. File naming is a matter for the OpenType specification. (issue #4858) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[caps_vertically_centered]:** Reenabled and corrected it. If possible, the uppercase glyphs should be vertically centered in the em box. (issues #4139 and #4274) #### On the Google Fonts profile - **[googlefonts/article/images]:** Missing image files are now reported at **FATAL** level. (issue #4848) - **[googlefonts/axes_match]:** Only run on variable fonts. This stops fontbakery producing an error on static fonts. (PR # #4863) ### Deprecated checks #### Removed from the Universal profile - **DEPRECATED - [whitespace_glyphnames]:** This check lacked a solid enough rationale. We may want to substitute it in the future by a full AGL-compliance check, if needed. (issue #4851) ## 0.13.0a1 (2024-Sep-19) ### Noteworthy code-changes - **[FontBakeryCondition:remote_styles]:** Use the Google Fonts family name to fetch the family. (PR #4838) - This release drops support for Python 3.8 ### New checks #### Added to the Google Fonts profile - **[googlefonts/axes_match]**: Check the font isn't missing any axes and the axes have the same range as the Google Fonts version. (PR #4836) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal profile - **[unreachable_glyphs]:** Avoid mutation of TTFont to fix issues with concurrent tests. (issue #4834) #### On the Google Fonts profile - **[googlefonts/glyphsets/shape_languages]:** Improve formatting of output to avoid excessively long reports. (issue #4781) ### Promotion of previously experimental checks #### Made effective on the Universal profile - * **[varfont/instances_in_order]**: "Ensure the font's instances are in the correct order." Was experimental since March/2024. (issue #3334) ## 0.13.0a0 (2024-Sep-13) ### Noteworthy code-changes - **Profile owners,** please take a look at the **pending_review** lists in your profile definitions. If you move them to **exclude_checks** it means you do not want the check in your profile. If you just remove from **pending_review**, then the check becomes effective in your profile. And if you do nothing, the checks still not reviewed will continue being automatically excluded from your profile. - This release adopts a new naming scheme for checks. We had reports of users getting confused by the meaning of the reverse domain names included as prefixes of check-IDs, such as **com.google.fonts**. The real meaning was that the organization identified by such domain was the first contributor of a given check implementation. But some users were confused thinking that it mean the check belong to that organization's vendor-specific profile. - Now profiles do not include that reverse domain prefix. And do not also have the `"/check/"` keywork anymore. As an example, **com.google.fonts/check/tabular_kerning** (on the Universal profile) is now simply called **tabular_kerning** - Also, there's been a large number of checks migrated among profiles. Mosly towards the Universal one. - The checks themselves also moved around in the code-repository, in an attempt to remove any resemblance of profile allocation within the **/Lib/fontbakery/checks/** directory, which should be seen as a general pool of check implementations. As much as possible, profile definition should happen inside **/Lib/fontbakery/profiles** instead. - The exception to this are the checks that are surely vendor-specific. All those were placed in sub-directories inside **Lib/fontbakery/checks/**, such as **Lib/fontbakery/checks/vendorspecific/microsoft/**. - As this is the **"a0" pre-release**, there may be additional migrations and renames of checks, before we make an actual **v0.13.0** release. Please open an issue if you have suggestions of better names or better profile allocations. ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Opentype profile - **[opentype/gdef_spacing_marks]:** Clarify log-message about glyphs that seem to be spacing. (issue #4824) #### On the Universal profile - **[name/family_and_style_max_length"]:** Use nameID 16 (Typographic family name) to determine name length if it exists. (PR #4811) - **[typoascender_exceeds_Agrave]:** Downgrade from FAIL to WARN. (PR #4828 / issue #3170) ### Migration of checks #### Moved from Fontwerk to OpenType profile - **[opentype/weight_class_fvar]**: "Checking if OS/2 usWeightClass matches fvar." #### Moved from Google Fonts to OpenType profile - **[opentype/slant_direction]**: "Checking direction of slnt axis angles." #### Moved from Noto Fonts to Universal profile - **[cmap/format_12]**: "Check that format 12 cmap subtables are correctly constituted." #### Moved from Adobe Fonts to Universal profile - **[empty_letters]**: "Letters in font have glyphs that are not empty?" #### Moved from Google Fonts to Universal profile - **[cjk_not_enough_glyphs]**: "Any CJK font should contain at least a minimal set of 150 CJK characters." - **[color_cpal_brightness]**: "Color layers should have a minimum brightness." - **[colorfont_tables]**: "Ensure font has the expected color font tables." - **[empty_glyph_on_gid1_for_colrv0]**: "Put an empty glyph on GID 1 right after the .notdef glyph for COLRv0 fonts." - **[family/control_chars]**: "Does font file include unacceptable control character glyphs?" - **[file_size]**: "Ensure files are not too large." - **[fontdata_namecheck]**: "Familyname must be unique according to namecheck.fontdata.com" - **[fvar_name_entries]**: "All name entries referenced by fvar instances exist on the name table?" - **[glyf_nested_components]**: "Ensure glyphs do not have components which are themselves components." - **[hinting_impact]**: "Show hinting filesize impact." (merely INFO-level result) - **[integer_ppem_if_hinted]**: "PPEM must be an integer on hinted fonts." - **[kerning_for_non_ligated_sequences]**: "Is there kerning info for non-ligated sequences?" - **[ligature_carets]**: "Are there caret positions declared for every ligature?" - **[mandatory_avar_table]**: "Ensure variable fonts include an avar table." - **[missing_small_caps_glyphs]**: "Ensure small caps glyphs are available." - **[name/ascii_only_entries]**: "Are there non-ASCII characters in ASCII-only NAME table entries?" - **[name/family_and_style_max_length]**: "Combined length of family and style must not exceed 32 characters." - **[render_own_name]**: "Ensure font can render its own name." - **[smart_dropout]**: "Ensure smart dropout control is enabled in "prep" table instructions." - **[stylisticset_description]**: "Ensure Stylistic Sets have description." - **[varfont/consistent_axes]**: "Ensure that all variable font files have the same set of axes and axis ranges." - **[varfont/duplexed_axis_reflow]**: "Ensure VFs with duplexed axes do not vary horizontal advance." - **[varfont/instances_in_order]**: ""Ensure the font's instances are in the correct order." - **[varfont/unsupported_axes]**: "Ensure VFs do not contain (yet) the ital axis." - **[vttclean]**: "There must not be VTT Talk sources in the font." #### Moved from Fontwerk to Universal profile - **[inconsistencies_between_fvar_stat]**: "Checking if STAT entries matches fvar and vice versa." - **[no_mac_entries]**: "Ensure font doesn't have Mac name table entries (platform=1)." #### Moved from Microsoft to Universal profile - **[typographic_family_name]**: "Typographic Family name consistency." - **[vtt_volt_data]**: "VTT or Volt Source Data must not be present." ## 0.12.10 (2024-Aug-14) ### Noteworthy code changes - The **UFO** profile was removed and its checks were migrated to the **Universal** profile. For that reason, all of them received a temporary "experimental" flag (issue #4801) - The **Shaping** and **Outline** profile were also removed and their checks migrated to the **Google Fonts** profile. As gfonts was already including those, and no other profile did so, there's no need to add experimental flags to these ones. (issue #4801) ### Changes to existing checks #### Previously on the UFO profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.daltonmaag/check/consistent_curve_type]:** remove usage of `ufoLib2` APIs. (PR #4802) #### On the Universal profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/gsub/smallcaps_before_ligatures]:** Check lookup indexes instead of feature indexes.

(PR #4808) - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.daltonmaag/check/designspace_has_consistent_groups]:** checks that all designspace sources have the same kerning groups. (PR #4814) - And all other pre-existing UFO checks as well. ### Promotion of previously experimental checks #### Made effective on the Google Fonts profile - * **com.google.fonts/check/article/images** After being marked as **experimental** for 4 months since the 0.12.0a5 release (issue #4594) ### Removed checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/has_tags]:** Check removed because a tool in the google/fonts repository will do the checking instead. ## 0.12.9 (2024-Jul-17) ### New checks #### Added to the Universal profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.arrowtype.fonts/check/typoascender_exceeds_Agrave]:** Check that the typoAscender exceeds the yMax of the /Agrave (issue #3170) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/gsub/smallcaps_before_ligatures]:** Skip check if font lacks GSUB table or font is missing either liga or smcp features.

(issue #4779) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unreachable_glyphs]:** Glyphs identified in the Extender Glyph Table within JSTF table, such as kashidas, are not included in the check output. (issue #4773) - **[com.google.fonts/check/tabular_kerning]:** bumped the date of its EXPERIMENTAL flag, due to last month's additional changes at issue #4640. #### On the OpenType profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_default_instance_nameids]** Clarify that the problem may actually be NameID 17, rather than the default instance.

Run like `python -m fontbakery.update_shaping_tests input.toml output.json path/to/*.ttf`. ### New checks #### Added to the Google Fonts profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/article/images]:** Validate maximum filesize and resolution of images in the article/images directory. (issue #4594) - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/varfont/instances_in_order]:** Ensure that the fvar table instances are in ascending order of weight. (issue #3334) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Google Fonts profile - [com.google.fonts/check/description/noto_has_article]:** This check has been renamed to `description/has_article` and also checks that fonts with article files have an empty description. (issue #4318) #### On the Universal profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/arabic_high_hamza]:** Fixed detection of glyphs by codepoint. And fixed a code-typo, to also check for high hamza glyph. (issue #4539) - **[com.google.fonts/check/interpolation_issues]:** Also detect kinks and contours becoming overweight or underweight. (issue #4388) ## 0.12.0a4 (2024-Mar-15) - Fixed markdown/html reporters (issue #4595) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Google Fonts profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/minisite_url]:** Added detection of duplicated `minisite_url` entries. And also fixed a few typos. (issue #4504) ## 0.12.0a3 (2024-Mar-13) ### Release notes - **UFO Sources** profile (`check-ufo-sources`) was renamed to **UFO** profile. - Since it is not vendor-specific by itself, it will be merged into other profiles (most likely **Universal**) in an upcoming release. The same applies to the **Shaping** profile. ### New utilily functions - **fontbakery.utils.show_inconsistencies**: Display an 'inconsistencies dictionary' as a bullet list.

Also, when glyphs needed to compute xAvgCharWidth are missing, it is considered critical, so it is now results in a FATAL-level result. (PR #4570) #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/tabular_kerning]:** Eliminated false positives and other errors (issue #4640) ## 0.12.0a2 (2024-Feb-21) - **[multi-threading]:** Lock reporting when returning results. (issue #4494) - Added support for checking TTC (OpenType font collection) files. (issue #2595) ### New checks #### Added to the Google Fonts profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/metadata/minisite_url]:** Validate minisite_url field on METADATA.pb (issue #4504) ### Deprecated checks #### Removed from the Google Fonts profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/font-v]:** (issue #4138) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Open Type Profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/postscript_name]:** OpenType spec does not impose single hyphen condition on postcript names. (issue #4348) #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unreachable_glyphs]:** Also consider glyphs referenced by MATH table. (issue #4536) ## 0.12.0a1 (2024-Feb-14) - Major refactoring. Check definitions now are all placed at `Lib/fontbakery/checks` and profile definitions are purely declarative, picking the checks from the pool by check-id. (PR #4491) - Deprecate check.name field that was never used (issue #3478) ### New checks #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/description/has_unsupported_elements]:** Check the description doesn't contain unsupported html elements. (issue #2811) #### Added to the FontWerk Profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.fontwerk/check/names_match_default_fvar]:** Check if the font names match default fvar. (PRs #3604 / #3698) ## 0.11.1 (2024-Feb-06) ### Release highlights & new features - Added a `-q` `--quiet` CLI option to suppress all terminal output. (issue #4484) - Fixed HTML reporter by adding the templates directory to the fontbakery package. (issue #4479) - Minor wording improvement on the GHMarkdown reporter (issue #4492) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unreachable_glyphs]:** Also consider the case of glyphs which are components only of unreachable glyphs. (issue #4378) ## 0.11.0 (2024-Feb-02) ### Noteworthy code-changes - The babelfont dependency has been dropped. (PR #4416) - Fix a crash when no matching checks are found during a multi-processing run. Also, do not freeze indefinitely. Instead, terminate the program emitting a process error code -1 and giving the user some guidance. (issue #4420) - Reporters have been refactored; there may be some changes to the terminal display, particularly when --succinct is passed. (PR #4447) - Added templating for the HTML reporter. We were mixing a lot of HTML and code in the same reporter, leading to messy code that's hard to improve. But now we use Jinja2 to feed the JSON output from the serialize reporter into a bunch of HTML templates. The reporter code is a lot simpler, and as a bonus, we make it easier for profile owners to change the look-and-feel of their reports. (PR #4460) - Improved grouping of check results on the reporters, displaying separately (1) checks with FATAL results (2) experimental checks and (3) all remaining check results. (issue #4377) ### New checks #### Added to the Universal Profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/varfont/family_axis_ranges]:** Check that family axis ranges are indentical. (issue #4445) - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/tabular_kerning]:** Check that tabular numerals and symbols have no kerning. (issue #4440) - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/case_mapping]:** Ensure that no glyph lacks its corresponding upper or lower counterpart (but only when unicode supports case-mapping). (issue #3230) #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/has_tags]:** Check that the font family appears in the tags spreadsheet. (issues #4465 & #4470) ### Previously experimental checks now made effective The dates indicate when each check was originally implemented as temporarily experimental. #### Promoted on Universal profile - 2023/Oct/13: **com.google.fonts/check/legacy_accents** - 2023/Oct/20: **com.google.fonts/check/arabic_high_hamza** #### Promoted on Google Fonts profile - 2023/Oct/12: **com.google.fonts/check/metadata/empty_designer** - 2023/Oct/13: **com.google.fonts/check/family/equal_codepoint_coverage** - 2023/Nov/02: **com.google.fonts/check/glyphsets/shape_languages** ### Migration of checks #### Moved to the Google Fonts profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/bold_wght_coord]:** from the Open Type profile. (issue #4436) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/arabic_spacing_symbols]:** Also check U+FBC2 ARABIC SYMBOL WASLA ABOVE (issue #4417) - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** Use `ttFont.getBestCmap()` to avoid potential ERROR. (issue #3601) - **[com.google.fonts/check/valid_glyphnames]:** Fix an outdated URL (issue #4080) - **[com.google.fonts/check/alt_caron]:** Expanded to catch casing variants like "caroncomb.case" as well. The check previously didn't catch L+caroncomb.case, because the it relies on Unicodes to identify wrong accents. Now, we're purging known-wrong endings (e.g. .case) before resolving the Unicode, so that caroncomb.case can be found. (issue #3308 / PR #4469) #### On the OpenType Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/bold_wght_coord]:** Only check for a bold instance on fonts where the weight range extends to 700. (issue #4373) - **[com.google.fonts/check/license/OFL_body_text]:** yield WARN instead of FAIL if body text is incorrect since the Google Fonts backend will make its own license file. Also show which lines needing changing (PR #4437) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/license]:** yield WARN if license url is scripts.sil.org/OFL (PR #4437) #### On the Shaping Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/dotted_circle]:** Don't check for dotted circles in Hangul fonts. Hangul is not a syllabic script. Old Hangeul uses complex shaping and has diacritic marks that require dotted circles. Contemporary Hangeul does not. (related to issue #3600) - **[com.google.fonts/check/soft_dotted]:** Check requires internet access. (issue #4396) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/duplexed_axis_reflow]:** yield FAILs per incorrect axis (message codes specifying axis); sort the list of bad glyphs (PR #4400) - **[com.google.fonts/check/legacy_accents]:** We changed our minds here, and removed the overide to FAIL on "legacy-accents-component", so it is back a mere WARN again, just like in the Universal Profile (issue #4425) - **[com.google.fonts/check/font_copyright]:** Accept date ranges. (issue #4386) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/unsupported_subsets]** and **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/unreachable_subsetting]**: Updated to use the new `gfsubsets` package. (PR #4434) - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyphsets/shape_languages]:** Check requires internet access. (issue #4396) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/family_and_style_max_length]:** Updated max length requirements according to feedback from @vv-monsalve and improved description of problems to inform the users. Entries longer than 32 chars now emmit a FAIL. (issue #2179) - **[com.google.fonts/check/STAT/axis_order]:** Improve wording. (issue #4100) ## 0.10.9 (2024-Jan-12) - New command-line flag `--skip-network` to skip any checks which require Internet access. (PR #4387) - Fix number of log level stats colums displayed with --ghmarkdown (PR #4390) - Code tests no longer catch exceptions and instead display backtraces. (PR #4392) ### New checks #### Added to the OpenType Profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.typenetwork/check/varfont/ital_range]:** Check variable font ital axis has correct range. (PR #4402) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Shaping profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/shaping/regression]:** Font variations can now be set in the test configuration, similar to font features. (PR #4405) - **[com.google.fonts/check/shaping/regression]:** Fix regressions in HTML outoput and make the check outout more markdown-compatible. (PR #4406) #### On the OpenType profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/same_size_instance_records]:** Skip variable fonts without named instances. (issue #4410) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/valid_name_values]:** Compare METADATA family name against the font's best family name (issue #4262) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/license_url]:** New OFL website URL is expected, while the old one emits a WARN (issue #4358) #### On the TypeNework Profile - Updated including latest universal checks and improved writing of some rationales and log messages. (PR #4402) ## 0.10.8 (2023-Dec-15) - New status result: "FATAL". To be used when a problem detected is extremely bad and must be imediately addressed. (issue #4374 / Discussion #4364) - New command-line flag `--error-code-on` to define the threshold for emitting error code 1. By default, the FontBakery process still communicates an error code 1 if there's any check resulting in FAIL or worse. But with this flag, the user (for instance, in a continuous integration setup) can change the behaviour, such as making a CI job break only when getting a FATAL check-result (or, alternatively, making it even stricter by also breaking CI jobs on WARNs). (PR #4376) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/parses]:** Changed from **FAIL** to **FATAL** (issue #4374) - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage]:** Rewrite check to follow new glyphsets API and data sets (issue #4379) ## 0.10.7 (2023-Dec-13) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/family_and_style_max_length]:** This test has been extensively reworked, thanks to feedback from @vv-monsale, @moontypespace and @RosaWagner (issue #4316, issue #4104) #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** U+0025 PERCENT SIGN and U+2031 PER TEN THOUSAND SIGN can also have 4 and 8 contours, respectively (issue #4365) - **[com.google.fonts/check/interpolation_issues]:** Fix crash when using fonttools>=4.46.0, crash when only ignored issues were found, and missing location formatting for contour order issues. (issue #4356) ## 0.10.6 (2023-Dec-01) ### Note-worthy code changes - There are a few Google Fonts profile dependencies that MUST always be up-to-date because they hold data: **glyphsets**, **gflanguages**, **shaperglot** and **axisregistry**. These will from now on be handled differenty on `setup.py`, so that only their latest available packages are acceptable for installation. Thanks @yanone for noticing and reporting this issue. (issue #4351) ## 0.10.5 (2023-Dec-01) ### Note-worthy code changes - Serialize a check's documentation along with the other properties so reporters can use the info. (PR #4345) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Open Type Profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/postscript_name]:** Render GitHub Flavoured Markdown on HTML reporter output, so that we can have nice things like tables. (issue #4346) #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/arabic_spacing_symbols]:** "Check that Arabic spacing symbols U+FBB2–FBC1 aren't classified as marks." Originally implemented in v0.10.2 / **No longer marked as experimental.** (issue #4295) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[@condition github_gfonts_ttFont]:** Fixed a bug that was not properly handling the square brackets used in variable font file names. (issue #4340) - **[com.google.fonts/check/version_bump]:** Improved log messages making them more legible and also fixing the formating of the version numbers (issue #4340) - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyphsets/shape_languages]:** React to new glyphset data as per glyphsets==0.6.6. This finalizes the check as originally intended. (issue #4147) ## 0.10.4 (2023-Nov-17) ### Note-worthy code changes - With significant performance improvement on some of the checks (**check/hinting_stats**, **check/varfont/generate_static** and **check/interpolation_issues**), from a dozen hours down to a few seconds ;-) Thanks Simon & Behdad for that performance boost! ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/arabic_high_hamza]:** Check area of arabic letter high hamza (U+0621) to be roughly the same as arabic letter hamza (U+0675) (issue #4315) - **[com.google.fonts/check/xavgcharwidth]:** This check now also applies to CFF-flavoured fonts (issue #4212) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/escaped_strings]:** Accept escaped quotes. They're fine. This check is really meant to detect things like "Juli\303\241n" instead of "Julián". (issue #4331) - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyphsets/shape_languages]:** Use tables to make the check results more readable. (issue #4326) ## 0.10.3 (2023-Nov-02) ### New checks #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/glyphsets/shape_languages]:** This check uses a heuristic to determine which GF glyphsets a font supports. Then it checks the font for correct shaping behaviour for all languages in those glyphsets. (issue #4147) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the OpenType profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/monospace]:** The check result has been made more consistent when there are outliers and the font is not set to monospaced in the `post` table. (issue #3839) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/consistent_repo_urls]:** Git URLs can contain dashes and also there may be multiple URLs in a single description file. (issue #4316) ## 0.10.2 (2023-Oct-20) ### New checks #### Added to the Universal Profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/arabic_spacing_symbols]:** Check that Arabic spacing symbols U+FBB2–FBC1 aren't classified as marks. (issue #4295) - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/arabic_high_hamza]:** Check that glyph for U+0675 ARABIC LETTER HIGH HAMZA is not a mark. (issue #4290) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/legacy_accents]:** Legacy accents cannot have zero-width. Previously we were expecting those to not be "too narrow". (issue #4310) ## 0.10.1 (2023-Oct-13) ### New checks #### Added to the Universal Profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/legacy_accents]:** Legacy accents must not be used in composites and must have positive width (issue #3959) - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/family/equal_codepoint_coverage]:** Previously called **com.google.fonts/check/family/equal_numbers_of_glyphs**, this check has been reworked and re-enabled. It now checks that the encoded glyphset is consistent across a family. (issue #4180) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/license/OFL_body_text]:** Make the check more tolerant to minor and negligible differences on the contents of the OFL license text, ignoring white space (tabs, line-breaks and space chars). (issue #4289) ## 0.10.0 (2023-Oct-12) ### Release notes - This release adds support for marking checks as **experimental**, which will make them not affect the process exit code and so will allow such checks to result in a FAIL without breaking continuous integration builds. This will give time for users to report problems on the implementation of new checks. If after some time nobody complains, then those new checks will more safely be made effective by removing their `experimental` tag. - **Bugfix:** Display informative message when users forget to install the `extra` needed for the vendor-specific profile they're trying to run (issue #4292) ### New checks #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **EXPERIMENTAL - [com.google.fonts/check/metadata/empty_designer]:** Any font published on Google Fonts must credit one or several authors, foundry and/or individuals. (issue #3961) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/consistent_repo_urls]:** Report missing source.repository_url (issue #4285), check with other sources (issue #3521), test repo URL more flexibly (issue #4107) - **[com.google.fonts/check/description/urls]:** fixed an ERROR due to trying to call `startswith` method on NoneType. Also upgrade check to FAIL and report any links with empty text content. (issue #4283) - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage]:** Only check for GF Latin Kernel when fonts have a primary_script set. (issue #4111) - **[com.google.fonts/check/vf_has_static_fonts]:** This check now allows manually-hinted static fonts but otherwise warns if fonts are found in the static/ directory. (issue #4092) - **[com.google.fonts/check/unitsperem_strict]:** Relax the range of values which cause FAIL. (issue #4094) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/nameid/full_name]:** Only English language name entries will be considered. (issue #4000) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/nameid/font_name]:** Only English language name entries will be considered. (issue #4000) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/valid_name_values]:** Allow name table entries in any language to match the METADATA. (issue #4000) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/valid_full_name_values]:** Allow name table entries in any language to match the METADATA. (issue #4000) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/valid_post_script_name_values]:** Allow name table entries in any language to match the METADATA. (issue #4000) - **[com.google.fonts/check/font_names]:** This check now highlights names which did not match the expected values. (issue #3912) #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/interpolation_issues]:** Improved the warning message to show the actual master locations. (PR #4288) ## 0.9.2 (2023-Sep-23) ### Stable release notes - **[com.google.fonts/check/caps_vertically_centered]** was temporarily disabled, until the calculations are properly reviewed. (issue #4274) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/caps_vertically_centered]:** Fix yet another ERROR on fonts without ASCII letters (issue #4269) - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** This check now FAILs if a glyph which should have contours is found to have no contours (issue #4137) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/unreachable_subsetting]:** Report codepoints in supplementary Unicode planes, and codepoints with no glyphset support at all (PR #4273) ## 0.9.1 (2023-Sep-19) ### Stable release notes - Guido Ferreyra from Type Network contributed improvements to the HTML Reporter which now displays vendor-specific branding (like logo and custom header text - whenever provided). This also includes improvements on the layout of the HTML page with the goal of improving readability of the reports. (PRs #4260 and #4263) - This version also introduces a new `Type Network` vendor-specific profile. (PR #4260) ### Bug Fixes #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/caps_vertically_centered]:** Fix error on font without ASCII letters (issue #4265) ### New Checks #### Added to the TypeNetwork Profile A large portion of these 16 checks below are derived from existing checks from other profiles, but adapted to the specific needs of Type Network. For that reason, we may in the future embrace some of those different criteria, perhaps on the `Universal` profile. But that will require us to look more closely and try to reach consensus of each of them, whenever appropriate. - **[com.typenetwork/check/glyph_coverage]:** Type Network expects that fonts in its catalog support at least the minimal set of characters. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/vertical_metrics]:** OS/2 and hhea vertical metric values should match. This will produce the same linespacing on Mac, GNU+Linux and Windows. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/font_is_centered_vertically]:** Similar to the one on the `Universal` profile, but with a different implementation. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/family/tnum_horizontal_metrics]:** Tabular figures need to have the same metrics in all styles in order to allow tables to be set with proper typographic control, but to maintain the placement of decimals and numeric columns between rows. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/family/equal_numbers_of_glyphs]:** Check if all fonts in a family have the same number of glyphs. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/usweightclass]:** (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/family/valid_underline]:** If underline thickness is not set nothing gets rendered on Figma. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/family/valid_strikeout]:** If strikeout size is not set, nothing gets rendered on Figma. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/fstype]:** Type Network's EULA is more accurately represented by setting fstype to 4, also known as 'Print & Preview'. This setting indicates that the fonts may be embedded, and temporarily loaded on the remote system, but documents that use it must not be editable. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/composite_glyphs]:** For performance reasons, is desirable that TTF fonts use composites glyphs. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/PUA_encoded_glyphs]:** Since the use of PUA encoded glyphs is not frequent, we want to WARN when a font can be a bad use of it, like to encode small caps glyphs. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/marks_width]:** To avoid incorrect overlappings when typing, glyphs that are spacing marks must have width, on the other hand, combining marks should be 0 width. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/name/mandatory_entries]:** For proper functioning, fonts must have some specific records. Other name records are optional but desireable to be present. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/varfont/axes_have_variation]:** Axes on a variable font must have variation. In other words min and max values need to be different. It’s common to find fonts with unnecesary axes added like `ital`. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/varfont/fvar_axes_order]:** If a font doesn’t have a STAT table, instances get sorted better on Adobe Apps when fvar axes follow a specific order: 'opsz', 'wdth', 'wght','ital', 'slnt'. **Note:** We should deprecate this check since STAT is a required table. (PR #4260) - **[com.typenetwork/check/family/duplicated_names]:** Check if font doesn’t have duplicated names within a family. Having duplicated name records can produce several issues like not all fonts being listed on design apps or incorrect automatic creation of CSS classes and @font-face rules. (PR #4260) ## 0.9.0 (2023-Sep-12) ### Stable release notes To see the full list of changes, please also read below the changelog entries of these pre-releases of v0.9.0: - 0.9.0a3 (2023-Sep-05) - 0.9.0a2 (2023-Aug-04) - 0.9.0a1 (2023-Aug-02) ### Noteworthy code-changes - gflanguages dependency updated to v0.5.6 ### New Checks #### Added to the OpenType Profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/postscript_name]:** FAIL on bad postscript names (issue #4254). ### Changes to existing checks #### On the OpenType Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/family_naming_recommendations]:** Two validations of PostScript names were moved out of this check and into **com.adobe.fonts/check/postscript_name** which yields FAILs (issue #4254). ## 0.9.0a3 (2023-Sep-05) ### Note-worthy code changes - The default log level has been changed to WARN. Now that profiles are big, you don't (by default) want a big long list of everything that is OK about your font; you just want to know the problems to fix. Make WARN the default and have people get a list of PASS if they ask for it. (issue #4186) ### Bug-fixes - Fix summary statistics on HTML reporter (issue #3997) - Updated **fonts_public.proto** to fix ERRORs on parsing fields `stroke` and `classifications` that were recently added to the schema (issue #4249) ### New Checks #### Added to the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/caps_vertically_centered]:** If possible, the uppercase glyphs should be vertically centered in the em box. (issue #4139) #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/primary_script]:** New check that guesses the primary script and compares to METADATA.pb (issue #4109) #### Added to the UFO Profile - **[com.thetypefounders/check/features_default_languagesystem]:** Checks if a default languagesystem statement is present in feature files and warns if the compiler will not insert one automatically (issue #4011) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/os2_metrics_match_hhea]:** Re-worded rationale text to be vendor-neutral (issue #4206) - **[com.google.fonts/check/mandatory_glyphs]:** The check which ensures that the `.notdef` glyph is not empty has been upgraded from a WARN to a FAIL. (issue #4093) #### On the Google Fonts profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/font-v]:** Change rationale to reflect the fact that this check emits an INFO (issue #4067) - **[com.google.fonts/check/vertical_metrics_regressions]:** Fix an error when the provided font did not have a Regular style. (issue #3897) - **[com.google.fonts/check/cjk_not_enough_glyphs]:** This check is now only run when a font has CJK codepages or ranges declared in the `OS/2` table. Other CJK-related checks are run on fonts with a minimum of 150 CJK glyphs. (issue #3846) - **[com.google.fonts/check/grade_reflow]**: This check has been renamed to **com.google.fonts/check/varfont/duplexed_axis_reflow** and now also checks the `ROND` axis. (issue #4200) - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage]:** This check is now skipped for icon fonts. (issues #3323 and #3327) #### On the OpenType profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/family/panose_familytype], [com.google.fonts/check/family/panose_proportion]:** Failures have been downgraded to warnings. (issue #4192) ## 0.9.0a2 (2023-Aug-04) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Shaping profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/soft_dotted]:** Added affected languages to output & downgraded to WARN. (issue #4085) ## 0.9.0a1 (2023-Aug-02) ### Note-worthy code changes - This is the first version in which we're using the Black auto-formatter on the entire code-base. (Discussions #3397) - Also, now software dependencies can be installed based on the user needs. The default FontBakery installation from PyPI includes only the dependencies for running font-binary checks from the Universal profile (which includes the OpenType profile). To run source-level checks, one needs to enable the `ufo-sources` extra. For vendor-specific profiles, the profile name has to be used as an extra when installing fontbakery (issues #3715 and #3874) - The **Shaping** and **UFO** checks are no longer included in the Universal profile. To run them use their respective subcommands (`check-shaping` or `check-ufo-sources`). - On the `conditions` field of the `@check` decorator, the "!" character is no longer supported as a boolean-not operator. Please use the "not" keyword for that, instead. ### Bugfixes - A font-file is not needed anymore when running `--list-checks` (issue #3878) ### New Checks #### Added to the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/alt_caron]:** Check that alternate caron is used in the four affected Latin glyphs. (issue #3308) ### Migrations of checks #### Moved to the Shaping profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/dotted_circle]:** from the Universal profile (issue #4161) - **[com.google.fonts/check/soft_dotted]:** from the Universal profile (issue #4161) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/freetype_rasterizer]:** Added test-code that segfaults with freetype-py version 2.4.0, so that we make sure the problem won't go unnoticed, and will enable us to know when it gets fixed (issue #4143) - **[com.google.fonts/check/interpolation_issues]:** The check ERRORed when ran on CFF2 variable fonts. The check is now SKIPped for such fonts because it depends on the presence of the `gvar` table, which only apply to TrueType variable fonts (https://github.com/miguelsousa/openbakery/issues/28). - **[com.google.fonts/check/valid_glyphnames]:** The check now takes into account that OpenType-CFF2 fonts with `post` table format 3 contain no glyph names, and will yield SKIP. - **[com.google.fonts/check/unique_glyphnames]:** The check now takes into account that OpenType-CFF2 fonts with `post` table format 3 contain no glyph names, and will yield SKIP. - **[com.google.fonts/check/mandatory_glyphs]:** Improved the check's resilience to edge cases that could result in ERRORs. - **[com.google.fonts/check/STAT_in_statics]:** The check now skips fonts that do not have a `STAT` table. #### On the OpenType profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/italic_angle]**: Fix an ERROR: If any of the glyphs checked (bar, vertical line, left square bracket, etc.) have no outlines, the check will now emit a WARN, because that's useful information. (PR #4187) ## 0.8.13 (2023-Jun-02) - Fix a critical install bug. I had used wrong syntax on setup.py which made v0.8.12 impossible to install when enabling the freetype extra. Sorry! (issue #4157) ## 0.8.12 (2023-May-31) ### New Checks #### Added to the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/STAT_in_statics]:** Static fonts with more than a single entry per design axis cause trouble on Windows (issue #4149) #### Added to the Open Type Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/italic_names]:** Implemented checks for name IDs 1, 2, 16, 17 for Italic fonts (issues #3666 and #3667) #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/unreachable_subsetting]:** Implemented checks to ensure that all encoded glyphs in the font are covered by a subset declared in the METADATA.pb (issue #4097) #### Added to the Adobe Fonts Profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/family/consistent_family_name]:** Verifies that family names in the name table are consistent across all fonts in a family. Checks Typographic Family name (nameID 16) if present, otherwise uses Font Family name (nameID 1). (issue #4112) ### Migrations of checks #### Moved to the Universal profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/linegaps]:** from the OpenType profile (issue #4133) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/soft_hyphen]:** Improve wording of the rationale. (issue #4095) - **[com.google.fonts/check/linegaps]:** Added rationale (issue #4133) #### On the Google Fonts profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/usweightclass]:** use the axisregistry's name builders instead of the parse module (issue #4113) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/broken_links]:** We should not keep email addresses on METADATA.pb files (issue #4110) - **[com.google.fonts/check/description/broken_links]:** We should not keep email addresses on DESCRIPTION files (issue #4110) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/nameid/font_name]:** Use name id 16, when present, to compute the expected font family name (issue #4086) - **[com.google.fonts/check/check/colorfont_tables]:** Update checking criteria according to gf-guide (issue #4131) ### BugFixes - Fix crash on markdown reporter by explicitly specifing UTF-8 encoding (issue #4089) ### Code tests - Added test for com.google.fonts/soft_doted. (issue #4069) ## 0.8.11 (2023-Mar-03) ### Noteworthy code-changes - The terminal reporter now prints out URLs for "more info" (typically github issues) where the user can learn more about how the check was originally proposed/discussed. (PR #3994) - Added a `--timeout` parameter and set timeouts on all network requests. (PR #3892) ### BugFixes - **[setup.py]:** Our protobuf files have been compiled with v3 versions of protobuf which cannot be read by v4. (PR #3946) - Fix summary header in the Github Markdown reporter. (PR #3923) - Use `getBestFullName` for the report instead of reading name table identifier 4 directly. (PR #3924) - fix crash on iso15008 checks by updating usage of internal fonttools `_TTGlyphGlyf` API that changed at https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/commit/b818e1494ff2bfb7f0cd71d827ba97578c919303 - Overriden checks now also properly inherit conditions. (issue #3952) - Updated style condition to correctly handle VFs (PR #4007) - Do not include an "And" on the last item of bullet lists.

(issue #3930) - **[com.google.fonts/check/math_signs_width]:** Check that math signs have the same width (issue #3832) - **[com.google.fonts/check/soft_hyphen]:** It was originally part of the validation on **check/contour_count**, but it was leading to confusion, so it was split out into a separate check. (issue #4046) #### Added to the Open Type Profile - **[com.thetypefounders/check/vendor_id]:** When a font project's Vendor ID is specified explicitely on FontBakery's configuration file, all binaries must have a matching vendor identifier value in the OS/2 table. (PR #3941) - **[com.google.fonts/check/caret_slope]:** Check for hhea.caretSlopeRise and hhea.caretSlopeRun to match post.italicAngle (issues #3670 & #4039) - **[com.google.fonts/check/italic_axis_in_stat]:** Check that ital axis exists in STAT table (issue #2934) - **[com.google.fonts/check/italic_axis_in_stat_is_boolean]:** Check that STAT ital axis values are boolean (0 or 1) and flags are elided for Upright and not elided for Roman, and Roman is linked to Italic (issue #3668) - **[com.google.fonts/check/italic_axis_last]:** Check that STAT ital axis is last in order (issue #3669) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/foundry_defined_tag_name]:** Check that foundry-defined tags begin with an uppercase letter (0x41 to 0x5A), and use only uppercase letters or digits (issue #4043) #### Proposed for future inclusion on the Open Type Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/italic_names]:** Implemented checks for name IDs 1, 2, 16, 17 for Italic fonts (Proposed at issues #3666 and #3667, but has problems described at issue #4061) #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/colorfont_tables]:** Check if fonts contain the correct color tables.

(issue #1793) #### Removed from the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/listed_on_gfonts]:** Did not pass for any new families and was not deemed to be a useful check by the onboarding team. The WARN was actually considered annoying. (issue #3220) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unreachable_glyphs]:** Fix handling of format 14 'cmap' table. (issue #3915) - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** U+0E3F THAI CURRENCY SYMBOL BAHT can also have 5 contours (issue #3914) #### On the OpenType Profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_default_instance_nameids]:** The check did not account for nameID 17.

Please read [the updated text](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) which corresponds to the `Contributor Covenant version 2.1` available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/ - We normalized the ordering of log messages of some more checks. To avoid imprevisibility of python set iteration, we sort them before printing. This helps to reduce diffs for people that compare subsequent runs of fontbakery on automated QA setups (issue #3654) ### New Checks #### Added to the Adobe Fonts Profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/unsupported_tables]:** Verifies if fonts contain any tables not supported by Adobe Fonts' font-processing pipeline (PR #3870) #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/font_names]:** Ensure font names match our specification (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/fvar_instances]:** Ensure fvar instances match our specification (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/STAT]:** Ensure fonts have compulsory STAT table axis values (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/description/valid_html]:** Fix parser to accept ampersand character in DESCRIPTION files. (issue #3840) ### Deprecated Checks #### Removed from the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/description_max_length]**: Recent requirement from GF marketing team is to remove character limit on description. GF specimen page has been updated to allow bigger description text from designers. (issue #3829) ### Migrations #### To the `Universal` profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/whitespace_widths]:** moved from `OpenType` profile. Also added rationale text. (issue #3843) ### BugFixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/unreachable_glyphs]:** Fix crash by adding support for color-font legacy COLR v0 format. (issue #3850) - Fixed bug on `fontbakery_version` check so that it now understands that v0.x.9 is older than v0.x.10 (issue #3813) - Fixed `fontbakery.profiles.shared_conditions.*_*_coord` functions so they work on Italic fonts (issue #3828, PR #3834) - **[com.fontwerk/check/weight_class_fvar]:** Fixed ERROR result as the check did not yield any status when a variable font had no `wght` axis. (PR #3866) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_duplicate_instance_names]:** Fixed crash caused by trying to decode a non-existant `name`-table record. (PR #3866) - **[com.google.fonts/check/linegaps]:** Fixed crash by checking for the existence of tables required by the check before accessing them. (issue #3656, PR #3866) - **[com.google.fonts/check/maxadvancewidth]:** Fixed crash by checking for the existence of tables required by the check before accessing them. (issue #3656, PR #3866) - **[com.google.fonts/check/unexpected_subtables]:** Fixed crash by checking for the existence of `OS/2` table required by `is_cjk_font` condition before accessing it. (PR #3866) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_axis_nameid]:** Fixed ERROR result as the check did not yield any status when a variable font had no `name` table.

(PR #3866) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_postscript_nameid]:** Fixed ERROR result as the check did not yield any status when a variable font had no `name` table. (PR #3866) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_default_instance_nameids]:** Fixed ERROR result as the check did not yield any status when a variable font had no `name` table. (PR #3866) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/distinct_instance_records]:** Fixed ERROR result as the check did not yield any status when a variable font had no `name` table. (PR #3866) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Adobe Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/cmap/unexpected_subtables]:** This check from the Noto Fonts profile was disabled; CJK vendors still include Macintosh format 2 subtables in their fonts (PR #3870) - **[com.google.fonts/check/os2_metrics_match_hhea]:** Mismatches of `lineGap` values were downgraded from FAIL to WARN (PR #3870) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/match_familyname_fullfont]:** This check from the OpenType profile was overridden and downgraded from FAIL to WARN. Many OpenType-CFF fonts in circulation are built with the Microsoft platform Full font name string identical to the PostScript FontName in the CFF Name INDEX. This practice was documented in the OpenType specification up until version 1.5 (PR #3870) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/trailing_spaces]:** This check from the Universal profile was overridden and downgraded from FAIL to WARN (PR #3870) - **[com.google.fonts/check/unwanted_tables]:** This check from the Universal profile was replaced by the new `com.adobe.fonts/check/unsupported_tables` check (PR #3870) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/nameid_1_win_english]:** Replaced ERROR status by FAIL status (PR #3870) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/freetype_rasterizer]:** Replaced ERROR status by FAIL status (PR #3870) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage]:** Ensure check doesn't error when font contains all required encoded glyphs (PR #3833) - **[com.google.fonts/check/mandatory_avar_table]:** Downgrade it to a mere WARN, even though it is still a high-priority one. (issue #3100) - **[com.fontwerk/check/inconsistencies_between_fvar_stat]:** Do not raise an error if font is missing AxisValues (issue #3848 PR #3849) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/stat_has_axis_value_tables]:** Do not raise an error if font is missing AxisValues (issue #3848 PR #3849) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/familyname]:** Removed due to new `font_names` check (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/subfamilyname]:** Removed due to new `font_names` check (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/fullfontname]:** Removed due to new `font_names` check (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/postscriptname]:** Removed due to new `font_names` check (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/typographicfamilyname]:** Removed due to new `font_names` check (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/typographicsubfamilyname]:** Removed due to new `font_names` check (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_has_instances]:** Removed due to new `fvar_instances` check (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_weight_instances]:** Removed due to new `fvar_instances` check (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_instance_coordinates]:** Removed due to new `fvar_instances` check (PR #3800) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_instance_names]:** Removed due to new `fvar_instances` check (PR #3800) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/freetype_rasterizer]:** Override this check to make it mandatory for Google Fonts, emitting a FAIL if freetype is not installed, instead of silently skipping. (issue #3871) #### On the OpenType Profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_default_instance_nameids]:** Relaxed the implementation to compare name values, not strictly IDs. (PR #3821) #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unreachable_glyphs]:** Do not report glyphs referenced in color fonts graphic compositions on the COLR table as missing. (issue #3837) ## 0.8.9 (2022-Jun-16) ### Noteworthy code-changes - Improve implementation of `is_italic` condition and provide an `is_bold` counterpart (issue #3693) - Nicer cancellation for terminal runner. (issue #3672) - The CheckTester class now takes into account the check's own `conditions`. (PR #3766) - Windows Terminal displays colors fine. We can now remove the win32 workaround. (issue #3779) - On the `Google Fonts` profile, the lists of exceptions for **Reserved Font Names (RFN)** and **CamelCased family names**, are now placed on separate txt files (`Lib/fontbakery/data/googlefonts/*_exceptions.txt`) to facilitate their future editing. (issue #3707) - The FontVal checks report will be written to a temporary directory now, making it safe to run the checks in parallel on multiple fonts. - Updated the Google Fonts metadata proto format. - Always read regression shaping JSON files as UTF-8 text. Windows may otherwise use a different default encoding. ### BugFixes - Users reading markdown reports are now directed to the "stable" version of our ReadTheDocs documentation instead of the "latest" (git dev) one. (issue #3677) - Improve rendering of bullet lists (issue #3691 & PR #3741) - fix crash on terminal reporter on specific Windows paths with backslashes (issue #3750) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/valid_glyphnames]:** Ignore colored .notdef glyphs (PR #3807) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/rfn]:** Do not FAIL if an RFN is found but referencing a familyname that differs frmo the currently used name. Just emit an WARN message instead, so that we're careful with font naming. (PR #3739) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/unsupported_axes]:** Allow slnt axis (PR #3795) - **[com.google.fonts/check/dotted_circle]:** Fix ERROR on fonts without GlyphClassDef.classDefs (issue #3736) - **[com.google.fonts/check/transformed_components]:** Check for any component transformation only if font is hinted, otherwise check only for flipped contour direction (one transformation dimension is flipped while the other isn't) (issue #3738) - **[com.google.fonts/check/gpos7]:** Previously we checked for the existence of GSUB 5 lookups in the erroneous belief that they were not supported; GPOS 7 lookups are not supported in CoreText, but GSUB 5 lookups are fine. (issue #3689) - **[com.google.fonts/check/required_tables]:** CFF/CFF2 fonts are now checked instead of skipped. (PR #3742) - **[com.google.fonts/check/family/win_ascent_and_descent]:** Fixed the parameter used in the FAIL message that is issued when the value of `usWinAscent` is too large. (PR #3745) - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontbakery_version]:** A change introduced in #3432 made this check always be skipped; that's now fixed. (issue #3576) - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontbakery_version]:** If the request to PyPI.org is not successful (due to host errors, or lack of internet connection), the check fails. (PR #3756) - **[com.google.fonts/check/os2_metrics_match_hhea]:** Included lineGap in comparison - **[com.google.fonts/check/family/vertical_metrics]:** Included hhea.lineGap in comparison - **[com.google.fonts/check/superfamily/vertical_metrics]:** Included hhea.lineGap in comparison - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** U+0024 DOLLAR SIGN can also have 5 contours, to support glyphs with two strokes. (issue #3780) #### On the OpenType Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/match_familyname_fullfont]:** The check was completely rewritten; it now correctly compares full name and family name strings that are from the same platform, same encoding, and same language. (PR #3747) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/match_familyname_fullfont]:** Added rationale text contibuted by Adam Twardoch (issue #3754) #### On the Adobe Fonts Profile - The profile was updated to exercise only an explicit set of checks, making it impossible for checks from imported profiles to sneak-in unnoticed. As a result, the set of checks that are run now is somewhat different from previous Font Bakery releases. For example, UFO- and designspace-related checks are no longer attempted; and outline and shaping checks are excluded as well. In addition to pairing down the set of checks inherited from the Universal profile, an effort was made to enable specific checks from other profiles such as Fontwerk, GoogleFonts, and Noto Fonts. (PR #3743) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/find_empty_letters]:** Was downgraded to WARN only for a specific set of Korean hangul syllable characters, which are known to be included in fonts as a workaround to undesired behavior from InDesign's Korean IME (Input Method Editor). More details available at issue #2894. (PR #3744) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/freetype_rasterizer]:** This check from the Universal profile is overridden to yield ERROR if FreeType is not installed, ensuring that the check isn't skipped.

(PR #3745) - **[com.google.fonts/check/os2_metrics_match_hhea]:** This check from the Universal profile is now overridden to yield just WARN instead of FAIL. (PR #3745) - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontbakery_version]:** This check from the Universal profile is overridden to be skipped instead of failing, when the user's internet connection isn't functional. (PR #3756) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unitsperem]:** Auto-SKIP this check inherited from the OpenType profile because Google Fonts has a stricter policy which is enforced by **com.google.fonts/check/unitsperem_strict** (issue #3622) - **[com.google.fonts/check/license/OFL_copyright]:** Improve wording of log message to clarify its meaning. It was too easy to think that the displayed copyright string (read from the font binary and reported for reference) was an example of the actually expected string format. (issue #3674) - **[com.google.fonts/check/cjk_vertical_metrics_regressions]:** Round calculation of expected sTypoAscender and sTypoDescender values (issue #3645) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/familyname]:** Don't validate localized name table entries compared to the expected English names derived from the font filename (issue #3089) - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage]:** Check all fonts against all glyphsets and report any glyphsets which are partially filled (PR #3775) #### On the Fontwerk Profile - Added a few more checks to the `CHECKS_NOT_TO_INCLUDE` list. These are checks (most of them from the Google Fonts profile) that Fontwerk is not interested in including in its vendor-specific profile. ### New Checks #### Added to the Adobe Fonts Profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/nameid_1_win_english]:** Validates that the font has a good nameID 1, Windows/Unicode/US-English `name` table record. (issue #3714) #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/vertical_metrics]:** Similar to `cjk_vertical_metrics`, this check enforces Google Fonts’ general vertical metrics specifications. #### Added to the Noto Fonts Profile - The majority of checks from the Google Fonts profile have been added. (PR #3681) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/noto_manufacturer]:** Checks for a known manufacturer name and correct designer URL in the name table. (PR #3681) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/noto_designer]:** Checks for a known designer name. (PR #3681) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/noto_trademark]:** Checks that the trademark entry in the name table is correct. (PR #3681) - **[com.google.fonts/check/cmap/format_12]:** Checks that format 12 cmap tables are used appropriately. (PR #3681) - **[com.google.fonts/check/os2/noto_vendor]:** Checks that the vendor ID in the OS/2 table is set to GOOG. (PR #3681) - **[com.google.fonts/check/hmtx/encoded_latin_digits]:** Checks that any encoded Latin digits have equal advance width.

(PR #3681) - **[com.google.fonts/check/hmtx/whitespace_advances]:** Checks that whitespace glyphs have expected advance widths. (PR #3681) - **[com.google.fonts/check/cmap/alien_codepoints]:** Checks that there are no surrogate pair or private use area codepoints encoded in the cmap table.

(issue #3090) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_axis_nameid]:** Validates that the value of axisNameID used by each VariationAxisRecord is greater than 255 and less than 32768. (issue #3702) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_subfamily_nameid]:** Validates that the value of subfamilyNameID used by each InstanceRecord is 2, 17, or greater than 255 and less than 32768. (issue #3703) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_postscript_nameid]:** Validates that the value of postScriptNameID used by each InstanceRecord is 6, 0xFFFF, or greater than 255 and less than 32768. (issue #3704) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/valid_default_instance_nameids]:** Validates that when an instance record is included for the default instance, its subfamilyNameID value is set to either 2 or 17, and its postScriptNameID value is set to 6. (issue #3708) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/same_size_instance_records]:** Validates that all of the instance records in a given font have the same size, with all either including or omitting the postScriptNameID field. (issue #3705) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/varfont/distinct_instance_records]:** Validates that all of the instance records in a given font have distinct data. (issue #3706) #### Added to the Universal Profile - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/freetype_rasterizer]:** Checks that the font can be rasterized by FreeType. (issue #3642) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/sfnt_version]:** Ensures the font has the proper sfntVersion value. (issue #3388) ## 0.8.8 (2022-Mar-23) ### Noteworthy code-changes - On the GitHub Markdown reporter, checks which produce all the same output for a range of fonts are now automatically clustered into a family check result. (PR #3610) - More cosmetic improvements to the GitHub Markdown reporter. (PR #3647) - Use the new `axisregistry` python module (Google Fonts Variable Font Axis Registry data-set) to eliminate code & data duplication across tools and repos (issue #3633) ### BugFixes - Fixed broken parsing at `@condition def production_metadata()` (issue #3661) ### New Checks #### Added to the FontWerk Profile - **[com.fontwerk/check/inconsistencies_between_fvar_stat]:** Check for inconsistencies in names and values between the fvar instances and STAT table which may cause issues in apps like Adobe InDesign. (PR #3636) - **[com.fontwerk/check/style_linking]:** Look for possible style linking issues. (PR #3649) #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/category_hints]:** Check if category on METADATA.pb matches what can be inferred from keywords in the family name. (issue #3624) #### Added to the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/gsub5_gpos7]:** Check if font contains any GSUB 5 or GPOS 7 lookups which are not widely supported. (issue #3643) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/dotted_circle]:** Fix ERROR by adding safeguard conditional on `is_complex_shaper_font` function. (issue #3640) - **[com.google.fonts/check/repo/upstream_yaml_has_required_fields]:** Remove repository_url field check since METADATA.pb files now include the source field. (issue #3618) #### On the OpenType Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/post_table_version]:** Updated policy on acceptable post table version. Downgraded the check from FAIL to WARN-level (according to discussions at issue #3635) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/can_render_samples]:** Check that the fonts can render the sample texts for all languages specified on METADATA.pb, by using the new `gflanguages` module (issue #3605) ## 0.8.7 (2022-Feb-17) ### Noteworthy code-changes - The `--succinct` flag now generates succinct HTML and MD reports.

(PR #3607) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/reserved_font_name]:** Added support for an RFN Exception allow-list, but it is kept empty for now while we review potential exceptions (issues #3589 and #3612) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/rfn]:** RFN Exception allow-list (same as above) ### Migrations #### To the `Universal` profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/transformed_components]:** moved from `Google Fonts` profile. It is not strictly a Google Fonts related check as transformed components cause problems in various rendering environments. (issue #3588) ## 0.8.6 (2022-Jan-29) ### Noteworthy code-changes - We now ensure that version 0.4.0 of our `collidoscope` dependency is not used because it had a bug that failed to detect an `ïï` collision on Nunito Black. (issues #3556) ### New Profile - Olli Meier (@moontypespace) contributed a new profile for Fontwerk, https://fontwerk.com/ (PR #3546) ### New Checks #### Added to the Fontwerk Profile - **[com.fontwerk/check/no_mac_entries]:** Check if font has Mac name table entries (platform=1) (PR #3545) #### Added to the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/designspace_has_sources]:** Check that all sources in a designspace can be loaded successfully.

(issue #3564) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/grade_reflow]:** fix AttributeError: `'NoneType'` object has no attribute `'StartSize'` (issue #3566) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/grade_reflow]:** Cleanup log message output: use a set (instead of a list) in order to eliminate multiple reporting of the same glyphs (issue #3561) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/os2_weightclass]:** Improve wording of log messages to make the reasoning of expected values clearer to the users (issue #2935) ## 0.8.5 (2022-Jan-13) ### Noteworthy code-changes - New command line flag: `-F, --full-list` to print full lists (`pretty_print_list` method) even when the total number of items exceeds a certain threashold. (issues #3173 and #3512) - Included a few of the more recently added profiles that were still missing on our online docs (issue #3518) - Do not accept more than a single dash on font filenames. This ensures FontBakery won't miscomputed expected style values use on checks such as `com.google.fonts/check/usweightclass`. (issue #3524) ### New Checks #### Added to the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/cjk_chws_feature]:** Ensure CJK fonts contain chws/vchw features. (issue #3363) #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/unsupported_subsets]:** Check for METADATA subsets with zero support. (issue #3533) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unreachable_glyphs]:** Glyphs which are components of other glyphs are no longer flagged as unreachable. (issue #3523) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** Four fifths glyph can also be drawn with only 3 contours if the four is open-ended. (issue #3511) - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage]:** Use the new glyphsets python module. (issue #3533) ## 0.8.4 (2021-Nov-19) ### Noteworthy code-changes - Updated Sphinx-docs extension code to use the latest API so that we can have FontBakery online docs properly build once more at https://fontbakery.readthedocs.io (issue #3313) - Also improved the documentation of checks, now displaying the contents of the `proposal` metadata fields. (Also issue #3313) - Fixed readability of tracebacks on ERROR messages on the text terminal (issue #3482) - Update fonts_public.proto and fonts_public_pb2.py ### New Checks #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/description/urls]:** Check for http/https in anchor texts and WARN to remove them (issue #3497) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** WARN if a font has a softhyphen. Also, if present, it should be non-spacing (and should have no contours). (issue #3486) - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** Do not expect ZWNJ and ZWJ glyphs to have zero contours. (issue #3487) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/can_render_samples]:** Ensure METADATA.pb is present before running check (issue googlefonts/Unified-Font-Repository#62) ### Migrations #### To the `Universal` profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** moved from `Google Fonts` profile. (issue #3491) ## 0.8.3 (2021-Oct-28) ### Noteworthy code-changes - This release drops Python 3.6 support (issue #3459) - Check statuses may now also be overriden via configuration file. See USAGE.md for examples. (PR #3469) - We now use the CheckTester helper class in all our code-tests. (PR #3453) - The `get_family_checks` method also takes into account usage of the `fonts` dependency, in addition to `ttFonts`. ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/shaping/regression]:** Improve reporting of shaping differences. (PR #3472) ### New Checks #### Added to the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unreachable_glyphs]:** Check if the font contains any glyphs not reachable by codepoint or substitution rules (issue #3160) #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/repo/sample_image]:** The README.md file has a sample image to showcase the font family? (issue #2898) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/can_render_samples]:** Ensure sample_text in METADATA.pb can be rendered in the font (issue #3419) ### Deprecated Checks #### Removed from the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/ftxvalidator]**: Since ftxvalidator is a proprietary tool, we can't be sure what it does. Font Bakery's mission is to collect font-bug knowledge publicly with "free as in freedom" code. Also, Font Bakery users have been either simply ignoring this third-party tool, or having headaches with installing it (we heard reports of tens of gigabytes and hours of downloading Apple tools just to have ftxvalidator available for this FontBakery check). In the past the reasoning for keeping a Font Bakery wrapper to ftxval was based on the fact that fonts will not install on MacOS if they do not pass ftxval checking routines. But the onboarders on Google Fonts reported that they've never faced that kind of problem, so we're now making the bold move of completely removing the wrapper-check since we believe our collection of FB checks are good enough to make sure fonts are valid for the MacOS font-installer. (PR #3479) - **[com.google.fonts/check/ftxvalidator_is_available]**: same reason as stated above. ## 0.8.2 (2021-Sep-01) ### Noteworthy code-changes - Fixed build of Read The Docs documentation pages (issue #3313) - Now one can invoke Font Bakery with different filetypes (other than just TTFs or OTFs) and the checks will run or skip based on file-type. (issue #3169) - For this reason, `UFO Source` checks are now included in the `Universal` profile. (issue #3439) - We'll likely have source-level (GlyphsApp) checks soon using this mechanism. - Updated font family protobuf files (issue #3443) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unwanted_tables]:** Documented reason for rejection of the 'prop' table. It is a table used on Apple's OSX-specific AAT and new fonts should not be using that. (issue #3411) - **[com.google.fonts/check/old_ttfautohint]:** Get latest ttfautohint version number from a constant instead of checking the user's system for an installed version of ttfautohint (issue #3423) #### On the OpenType Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyf_nested_components]:** Nested components are permitted by the OpenType specification, so this check has been moved to the Google Fonts profile. (issue #3424) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/designer_profiles]:** The `link` field is not currently used by the GFonts API, so it should be kept empty for now. (issue #3409) ### New Checks #### Added to the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/transformed_components]:** Ensure component transforms do not perform scaling or rotation (which causes hinting and rasterization issues). (issue #2011) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/family_directory_name]:** We want the directory name of a font family to be predictable and directly derived from the family name, all lowercased and removing spaces. (issue #3421) - **[com.google.fonts/check/file_size]:** Ensure that the absolute file size of the font is not going to cause problems on the Google Fonts platform. (issue #3320) - **[com.google.fonts/check/render_own_name]:** Ensure the font can render its own name without .notdef glyphs. (issue #3159) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/grade_reflow]:** Ensure that variations on the GRAD axis do not change any horizontal advances. (issue #3187) ## 0.8.1 (2021-Aug-11) ### Bug fixes - Fix crash on is_OFL condition when a font project lacks a license. (issue #3393) ### Changes to existing checks #### On the Universal Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/unwanted_tables]:** Stop rejecting MVAR table (issue #3400) - **[com.google.fonts/check/required_tables]:** remove 'DSIG' from list of optional tables and improve wording on the check rationale. (issue #3398) - **[com.google.fonts/check/outline_\*]:** Also print codepoints on the log messages (issue #3395) #### On the OpenType Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/dsig]:** We now recommend (with a WARN) completely removing the 'DSIG' table. We may make this a FAIL by November 2023 when the EOL date for MS Office 2013 is reached. (issue #3398) - **[com.google.fonts/check/gdef_mark_chars]:** Also print glyphnames on log messages (issue #3395) - **[com.google.fonts/check/gdef_spacing_marks]:** Also print glyphnames on log messages (issue #3395) #### On the Adobe Fonts Profile - Remove **check/dsig** override, which was now outdated because the original check implementation was just changed to actually suggest (with a WARN) the removal of any DSIG tables. (issue #3407) #### On the Google Fonts Profile - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/designer_profiles]:** Change "missing-link" FAIL to WARN (issue #3409) ## 0.8.0 (2021-Jul-21) ### New Reporter - A reporter for `shields.io` badges, as discussed in https://github.com/googlefonts/Unified-Font-Repository/issues/14. It adds all the severity scores (with a default severity of 5 for those not yet providing a severity score) and uses this to generate a percentage. The JSON file it emits separates each profile into a separate badge. ### New Checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/family/italics_have_roman_counterparts]:** Ensure Italic styles have Roman counterparts. (issue #1733) - **[com.google.fonts/check/layout_valid_feature_tags]:** Check if the font contains any invalid feature tags. (PR #3359, issue #3355) - **[com.google.fonts/check/layout_valid_script_tags]:** Check if the font contains any invalid script tags. (PR #3359, issue #3355) - **[com.google.fonts/check/layout_valid_language_tags]:** Check if the font contains any invalid language tags. (PR #3359, issue #3355) - **[com.google.fonts/check/meta/script_lang_tags]:** Ensure fonts have ScriptLangTags declared on the 'meta' table. (issue #3349) - **[com.google.fonts/check/no_debugging_tables]:** Ensure fonts do not contain any preproduction tables. (issue #3357) ### Bug Fixes - Add a code-testing mechanism to ignore spurious ERRORs and use it for not letting the namecheck timeouts break our CI builds. (issue #3366) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/license/OFL_body_text]**: Silently tolerate usage of "http://" on the OFL.txt file. (issue #3372) ## 0.7.38 (2021-Jun-23) ### New Checks - **[com.google/fonts/check/repo/upstream_yaml_has_required_fields]:** Check upstream.yaml file contains all required fields (PR #3344, issue #3338) - **[com.google.fonts/check/license/OFL_body_text]:** Check OFL.txt body text is correct (PR #3353, issue #3352) - **[com.google.fonts/check/os2/use_typo_metrics]:** Confirm that OS/2.fsSelection bit 7 (USE TYPO METRICS) is set (PR #3314, issue #3241) ### Bug Fixes - Log levels are now correctly honored when using the HTML reporter (issue #3225) ### Dependencies - Drop again the usage of unidecode due to licensing policies (issue #3316) ### Bug Fixes - **[com.google/fonts/check/whitespace_ink]:** Fixed a bug affecting Ogham Space Mark. The set of codepoints was created incorrectly because we forgot to use parentheses in the expression, which resulted in the set of non-drawing codepoints to still include the ogham space mark codepoint (quite the opposite of what the comment said we were doing there :-P) Now the check handles it properly and I also added a test case to ensure we do not reintroduce the bug. (issue #3345) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/description/max_length]:** nowadays the Google Fonts specimen pages allow for longer texts without upsetting the balance of the page. So the new limit is 2,000 characters. (PR #3337) ## 0.7.37 (2021-May-20) ### Bug Fixes - fix crash on **com.google.fonts/check/missing_small_caps_glyphs** (issue #3294) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/regular_opsz_coord]:** update the "Regular" instance opsz axis range guidance to 10 - 16 from 9 - 13 according to updated [OT spec](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/typography/opentype/spec/dvaraxistag_opsz) (PR #3292) - **[com.google.fonts/check/missing_small_caps_glyphs]:** Also look for missing 'c2sc' glyphs (issue #3294) - **[com.google.fonts/check/stylisticset_description]:** Temporarily downgrade it to WARN-level (issue #3155) ## 0.7.36 (2021-May-14) ### Release notes - bugfixing quick release ### Bug Fixes - fix crash on *glyph_metrics_stats* condition (issue #3273) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/canonical_filename]:** Split out `variable_font_filename` into a reusable condition (issue #3274) ## 0.7.35 (2021-May-12) ### Release notes - Axis Registry has been updated to commit https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/6418bd97834330f245cce4131ec3b8b98cb333be which includes changes to the `opsz` axis. - Format status output to improve readability. (issue #2052) - Move reporter-specific write logic to reporters, simplify argparse (PR #3206) - Profile-specific `fontbakery.commands.check_...` removed and replaced with a call to `check_profile` with the appropriate profile. (PR #3218) - HTML and Terminal reporter parses and renders markdown. (PR #3212) (PR #3227) - You can now pass (some) options to fontbakery using a configuration file, with the `--configuration` command line parameter. This configuration file is available to check code using the `config` parameter. (PR #3219) - All failing tests are now *required* to return a `Message` object containing a message code. (PR #3226) ### New Profile - Created a Type Network profile for checking some of their new axis proposals (issue #3130) - Created an ISO15008 profile for checking suitability for use in in-car display environments (issue #1832) ### Bugfixes - **license** condition now assumes that all license files in a given project repo are identical if more than one is found. With that some checks wont be skipped. We should have a fontbakery check to ensuring that assumption is valid, though. (issue #3172) - **license_path** condition: do not cause an ERROR on families lacking a license file. (issue #3201) - use Chris Simpkins' dehinter instead of ttfautohint-py to dehint font files while computing the file-size impact of hinting. (issue #3229) ### New Checks - **[io.github.abysstypeco/check/ytlc_sanity]:** Check if ytlc values are sane in a varfont (issue #3130) - **[com.google.fonts/check/cjk_vertical_metrics_regressions]:** Check CJK family has the same vertical metrics as the same family hosted on Google Fonts (issue #3242) - **[com.google.fonts/check/cjk_not_enough_glyphs]:** Warn users if there are less than 40 CJK glyphs in a font.

These files should not change too often, but we should be careful to check for updates on our FontBakery releases. (issue #3022) ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/escaped_strings]:** Ensure fields in METADATA.pb do not use escaped strings (issue #2932) - **[com.google.fonts/check/STAT/axis_order]:** INFO-level check to gather stats on usage of the STAT table AxisOrdering field.

(PR #3035) - Adopted 4-spaces indentation. We're changing our codestyle to facilitate collaboration from people who also work with the fontTools and AFDKO codebases. (issue 2997) - All rationale text needs to have 8 indentation spaces (because this indentation on the source should not show up on the user-interface when rationale text is printed on the text terminal) - Remove PriorityLevel class as it makes classifying checks by priority more complicated then necessary!

Cabin had recently been updated in Google Fonts and the family now has different vertical metric values (issue #3026) - Fix ERROR in com.google.fonts/check/STAT_strings (issue #2992) ## 0.7.29 (2020-Jul-17) ### Note-worthy code changes - This version adds initial support for multiprocessing (running multiple checks in parallel to likely speed up execution time) via the -j/--jobs flag, contributed by Lasse Fister (PR #2959) ### Bugfixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/description/broken_links]**: Skip when html does not parse. (issue #2664) - Checks if GSUB lookup format is 1 for ligature collection in `profiles/shared_conditions.py`; format 1 is the only significant one for `ligatures()` and `ligature_glyphs()`) ### New Checks - **[universal: com.google.fonts/check/rupee]**: Ensure indic fonts have the Indian Rupee Sign glyph (issue #2967) - **[googlefonts: com.google.fonts/check/metadata/category]**: Ensure category field is valid in METADATA.pb file (issue #2972) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/unitsperem_strict]**: updating units per em criteria because the assumptions behind our previous "upm=2000 for VFs" suggestion were not really correct. (issue #2971) - **[com.google.fonts/check/ligature_carets]**: Add GlyphsApp instructions for fixing ligature caret WARNs (issue #2955) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/broken_links]**: request URLs only once and accept status 429 - "too many requests" (issue #2974) - **[com.google.fonts/check/description/broken_links]**: request URLs only once and accept status 429 - "too many requests" (issue #2974) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_instance_names]**: Check will now only allow 18 named instances (Thin-Black + Italics). This was decided in a Friday team meeting on the 2020/06/26.

(#2853) - **[com.google.fonts/check/unitsperem_strict]**: update requirements on upm values; 2000 is a minimum for VF because lower than that creates less smooth interpolation; and larger than 2048 causes a filesize increase. (issue #2827) - **[com.google.fonts/check/whitespace_glyphs]**: yield one unique message (and `message.code`) per missing whitespace case to enable selective overrides based on individual message codes - update adobefonts overridden whitespace_glyphs check to WARN on missing 0x00A0 (fail on 0x0020) ### Bug Fixes - Family names with more than a single word were not being properly detected when querying GFonts API (issue #2848) - fix style_parse handling of file paths containing a "-" char. (issue #2867) ## 0.7.24 (2020-Apr-21) ### Note-worthy changes - Fixed rendering of markdown on our read-the-docs documentation (#2819) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/whitespace_widths]**: Provide instructions on how to fix the problem at Glyphs App source files (PR #2843) ## 0.7.23 (2020-Apr-17) ### Note-worthy changes - We now tell users on the text terminal what each of the check results mean. (issue #2823) ### New Checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/consistent_axes]**: Ensure that all variable font files have the same set of axes and axis ranges. (issue #2810) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/valid_glyphnames]**: Increase glyphname max-length to 63 chars. (issue #2832) - **[com.google.fonts/check/unitsperem_strict]:** Do not WARN for upem=2048 (issue #2827) ### Bugfixes - profiles.googlefonts_conditions.familyname now works on variable fonts. - Invoke ftxvalidator binary from path detected by shutil.which (issue #2791) - Split too long lines in rationale text such as long URLs (issue #2835) ### Documentation - Documentation at ReadTheDocs should default to stable (last release on PyPI) instead of latest (development on 'main' branch). (issue #2819) - Clearly mention the list of checks on the top of the documentation front-page. (issue #2814) ## 0.7.22 (2020-Mar-27) ### Note-worthy changes - Updated function to extract a font family name from a font filename. Code taken from gftools.util.google_fonts.FamilyName ### Documentation - clarify that Xcode version can be 9 or later (issue #2784) ### Bugfixes - Ignore git commit hash on ttfautohint version string (issue #2790) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/hinting_impact]**: Add support for CFF hints (issue #2802) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_instance_names]**: Add ExtraBlack 1000 weight support (issue #2803) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_instance_coordinates]**: Add ExtraBlack 1000 weight support (issue #2804) ## 0.7.21 (2020-Mar-06) ### Note-worthy changes - The snippet for checking collections is just an example shell script and it is specific to the directory structure of the Google Fonts git repo. We've made this clearer by renaming the script to **snippets/fontbakery-check-gfonts-collection.sh** (issue #2740) - The script was also fixed to run properly on MacOS, as it was originally only working on GNU+Linux. ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_instance_*]**: Clean up output and ensure that unregistered axes produce a warning. (issue #2701) Output will now display the following: - WARN if instance names are not fully parsable. It will also output the unparsable tokens. - FAIL if instance coordinates are incorrect for known axes. - FAIL if the fvar contains known axes and they're not mentioned in instance names. - FAIL if instance name tokens are incorrectly ordered - Provide link to our documentation if these checks FAIL or WARN - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontdata_namecheck]**: improve log messages when query fails (issue #2719) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/rfn]**: Add rationale and make it a **FAIL** as it is a strong requirement for Google Fonts that families do not use a "Reserved Font Name" (issue #2779) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/line_breaks]**: Add rationale (issue #2778) ### Migration of checks between profiles - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/line_breaks]**: From `opentype` to `googlefonts` profile as it is a vendor-specific policy rather than an OpenType spec requirement. (issue #2778) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/rfn]**: From `opentype` to `googlefonts` profile (issue #2779) ## 0.7.20 (2020-Feb-24) ### Emergency bugfix release! - FATAL ERROR by adding proper indentation to rationale string on com.google.fonts/check/metadata/valid_copyright (issue #2772) ## 0.7.19 (2020-Feb-22) ### Note-worthy code changes - Add support for super-family checks! (issue #1487) ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/license/OFL_copyright]**: Check if license file first line contains copyright string (issue #2764) - **[com.google.fonts/check/superfamily/list]**: A simple & merely informative check that lists detected sibling family directories (issue #1487) - **[com.google.fonts/check/superfamily/vertical_metrics]**: Experimental extended version of **family/vertical_checks**, but only emitting WARNs for now (issues #1487 and #2431) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/multiple_designers]**: Ensure explicit designer names are mentioned on METADATA.pb (issue #2766) ### Deprecated checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/monospace_max_advancewidth]**: (issue #2749) ### Bugfixes - fix generate-glyphdata command (python 3 support) (issue #2765) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/post_table_version]**: Support CFF2 OTF Variable Fonts and add rationale (issue #2638) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/valid_copyright]**: Add rationale and make it case insensitive (issue #2736) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/undeclared_fonts]**: Clarify rationale (issue #2751) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/filenames]**: Add rationale (issue #2751) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/filenames]**: Consider all files from a directory (issue #2751) - **[com.google.fonts/check/monospace]:** Fix typo isFixedWidth is actually isFixedPitch, xAverageWidth is xAvgCharWidth ## 0.7.18 (2020-Feb-05) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/license]** and **[com.google.fonts/check/name/license_url]**: Accept http URLs but warn that those should ideally be updated to HTTPS. (issue #2731) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/undeclared_fonts]**: Accept "static/" subdirs (issue #2737) ### Bugfixes - Add Thomas Phinney's comment on rationale of check **com.google.fonts/check/monospace** (issue #2729) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/license_url]** and **com.google.fonts/check/name/license**: Added rationale and improved wording of log messages. (issue #2666) ## 0.7.17 (2020-Jan-15) ### New features - Add support for color themes. (issue #2031) - Auto-select default color theme based on operating system in use. The vast majority of MacOS users seem to use a light-background on the text terminal. For orther systems like GNU+Linux and Windows, a dark terminal seems to be more common. ## 0.7.16 (2019-Dec-13) ### Note-worthy changes - New experimental notofonts profile. Some checks from this profile may be promoted into the universal profile later (issue #2676) - New code snippet: An exemple of a custom fontbakery profile (with support for universal profile checks, check filters, and custom checks) has been provided by Chris Simpkins at snippets/check-custom.py (PR #2714) ### Bugfixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage]:** display full list of missing required codepoints in INFO log message (issue #2690) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/family_naming_recommendation]:** Increase acceptable characters in nameID 6 string to 63 from 29 (PR #2707) ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyf_non_transformed_duplicate_components]:** Check glyphs do not have duplicate components which have the same x,y coordinates (PR #2709) - **[com.google.fonts/check/repo/vf_has_static_fonts]:** Check VF family dirs in google/fonts contain static fonts (issue #2654) - **[com.google.fonts/check/unicode_range_bits]:** Ensure UnicodeRange bits are properly set (issue #2676) - **[com.google.fonts/check/cmap/unexpected_subtables]:** Ensure all cmap subtables are the typical types expected in a font (issue #2676) ## 0.7.15 (2019-Nov-03) ### Note-worthy changes - **Rationale cleanup & render:** Reviewed all rationale metadata entries and added code to properly format them on the github markdown and text terminal output. Later we probably should parse markdown everywhere. (issue #2681) - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage]:** Removed strong requirement of 0x000D (carriage-return) for the GF Latin Core character set. (issue #2677) ### New features - Print rationale of checks (if available) on terminal output (issue #2531) - Display rationale text on the github markdown output (when it is available) (issue #2531) ## 0.7.14 (2019-Oct-16) ### Bugfixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** Fix listing of glyphnames with unexpected contour counts.

(issue #2653) - **[com.google.fonts/check/namecheck]:** fake user agent on http://namecheck.fontdata.com/ requests to get good query results. ## 0.7.13 (2019-Oct-04) ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/filenames]:** "METADATA.pb: Font filenames match font.filename entries?" (issue #2597) ### Bugfixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/usweightclass]:** Italics should not affect the results. (issue #2650) - **[com.google.fonts/check/canonical_filename]:** Fix f-string syntax and only check filename (not full path) (issue #2649) ### Changes to checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/canonical_filename]:** filenames with underscore characters are considered invalid. (issue #2615) - **[com.google.fonts/check/gasp]:** mention how to fix if font is unhinted (issue #2636) ## 0.7.12 (2019-Sep-14) ### Note-worthy code changes - Added 'opsz' axis to fontbakery.parse - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** ignore PUA codepoints (issue #2612) - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** detect glyphs by both glyphnames and codepoints (issue #2612) - **[com.google.fonts/check/canonical_filename]:** Use Typographic Family Name if it exists in the nametable - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_instance_names]:** warn user if "Text" or "Display" have been used in a varfont instance name. We would prefer point size to be used instead. ### Bugfixes - fix crash on html/markdown reporters by declaring DEBUG log-level (issue #2631) ### Changes to checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/unwanted_tables]:** Add MVAR table (Issue #2599) and improve FAIL message ## 0.7.11 (2019-Aug-21) ### Note-worthy code changes - Adding yet a whole bunch more keywords to log-messages (issue #2558) - Refactored EncodingID/LanguageID classes for Mac & Windows name table entries ### Bug Fixes - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/family/max_4_fonts_per_family_name]:** Only run on Win name records (issue #2613) - Avoid crash on static fonts by safeguarding the `slnt_axis` condition. ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/undeclared_fonts]:** "Ensure METADATA.pb lists all font binaries" (issue #2575) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/slnt_range:]** "The variable font 'slnt' (Slant) axis coordinate specifies positive values in its range?" (issue #2572) ### Renamed check IDs: - **[com.google.fonts/check/wdth_valid_range]** => com.google.fonts/check/varfont/wdth_valid_range - **[com.google.fonts/check/wght_valid_range]** => com.google.fonts/check/varfont/wght_valid_range ## 0.7.10 (2019-Aug-06) ### Note-worthy code changes - Added keywords for non-PASS log messages of a very large set of checks. At some point this will be mandatory for all checks. (issue #2558) - Make sure canonical style name checks are strongly enforced. Improve wording of FAIL log message on check/varfont_instance_names (issue #2573) ### Bug fixes - fix ERROR on check/metadata/broken_links (issue #2585) ## 0.7.9 (2019-Jul-11) ### Note-worthy code changes - update varfont naming scheme: use commas to separate axis tags (issue #2570) ### Disables checks - Disabled family checks: **com.google.fonts/check/family/equal_numbers_of_glyphs** and **com.google.fonts/check/family/equal_glyph_names** These will be reintroduced after known problems are addressed. (issue #2567) - Temporarily disabled **com.google.fonts/check/production_encoded_glyphs** since GFonts hosted Cabin files seem to have changed in ways that break some of the assumptions in its code-test. (issue #2581) ### Re-enabled checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontdata_namecheck]:** Web service is online again. (issue #2484) ### Bug fixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontbakery_version]:** FAIL if unable to detect latest available fontbakery version (issue #2579) - perform a hacky fixup to workaround the square-brackets naming scheme currently in use for varfonts in google fonts. (issue #2570) ## 0.7.8 (2019-Jun-22) ### Note-worthy code changes - Add GlyphsApp hint to com.google.fonts/check/usweightclass (issue #2423) - Fix "metatada" typo on checkid: **com.google.fonts/check/metatada/canonical_style_names** (issue #2561) - Reorder loglevels: INFO now has higher priority than SKIP (issue #2560) ### Changes to checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/canonical_filename]:** update variable fonts naming scheme (issue #2549) ## 0.7.7 (2019-Jun-18) ### Note-worthy code changes - **[com.google.fonts/check/family/has_license]:** only run check if the fonts are in a google/fonts repo. - **[com.google.fonts/check/vendor_id]:** accept NULL-padding on vendor-IDs (issue #2548) ### Bug fixes - fix crash on git_gfonts_ttFonts condition (return None when the font is not yet available on GitHub) (issue #2540) ### New Checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/broken_links]:** Ensure the copyright string in METADATA.pb files does not contain broken URLs. (issue #2550) ## 0.7.6 (2019-Jun-10) ### Note-worthy code changes - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/subfamilyname]:** has been refactored to use parse.style_parse. - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/typographicsubfamilyname]:** has been refactored. It is now acceptable to have a typographic subfamily name if the font is RIBBI since it does not cause any issues ### Bug fixes - Render line-breaks on Read The Docs check rationales - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/family/bold_italic_unique_for_nameid1]:** restrict check to RIBBI styles only (issue #2501) - fix bug in **points_out_of_bounds** check: The coordinates of a component multiplied by a scale factor result in floating-point values. These were causing false-FAILs because we were not rounding them before checking if they are within the glyph bounding-box. This was probably making points at extrema to fall slightly out of the bbox. (issue #2518) - also improved the readability of **com.google.fonts/check/points_out_of_bounds** ### New Checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/description/variable_font]:** Ensure that variable fonts contain the following message in the DESCRIPTION.en-us.html file: `This family is available as a variable font.` (issue #2538) - **[com.google.fonts/check/description/git_url]:** Make sure all font families have an upstream git repo URL declared in the DESCRIPTION.en-us.html file. (issue #2523) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_instance_coordinates]:** Check variable font instances have correct axis coordinates (PR #2520) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_instance_names]:** Check variable font instances have correct names (PR #2520) - **[com.google.fonts/check/wdth_valid_range]:** Check variable font wdth axis has correct range (PR #2520) ## 0.7.5 (2019-May-24) ### Note-worthy code changes - The conditions from the `googlefonts` profile were split out into their own separate file ### Dependencies - Make docs building dependencies optional using "extras_require" ### Deprecated checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/currency_chars]:** we now have a much broader glyph coverage check: com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage (issue #2498) ### Bug fixes - The HTML report now actually defaults to "sans-serif" as the body font. - **[com.google.fonts/check/repo/dirname_matches_nameid_1]:** Restrict it to static fonts as the `fontbakery.util.get_regular` function does not support variable fonts yet. (issue #2509) - **[com.google.fonts/check/license_url]:** it now instructs the user which valid URL is actually expected (issue #2502) ## 0.7.4 (2019-May-06) ### Note-worthy code changes - We now have documentation of FontBakery checks on ReadTheDocs generated by a custom Sphinx module. - Markdown report now links to FB check docs on ReadTheDocs. (issue #2489) ### Dependencies - Removed defusedxml dependency. We were only using it for its `defused.lxml` module which is now deprecated (issue #2477) - Removed fontforge dependency. ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/glyph_coverage]:** Google Fonts expects that fonts support at least the GF-latin-core glyph-set (PR #2488) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/designer_values]:** We must use commas instead of forward slashes because the fonts.google.com directory will segment string to list on comma and display the first item in the list as the "principal designer" and the other items as contributors (issue #2479) - **[com.google.fonts/check/vertical_metrics_regressions]:** If a family already exists on Google Fonts, the family being checked must have similar vertical metrics (issue #1162) ### Temporarily disabled checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontdata_namecheck]:** The web-service is down. (issue #2483) ### Deprecated checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontforge_stderr]:** and **[com.google.fonts/check/fontforge]:** Fontforge does not support python 3. Well... it does, but it is a mess. We'll have to put significant effort if we ever bring back these checks. ### Bug fixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/dsig]:** Mention which gftools script can fix the issue. - **[com.google.fonts/check/family/has_license]:** Mention which licenses were found if multiple licenses exist. ## 0.7.3 (2019-Apr-19) ### Note-worthy code changes - The cupcake artwork is not gone, but it is now much less likely to show up. You can't get a cupcake unless you really deserve it! (issue #2030) - Improved --list-checks output. Now uses colors for better legibility on the text terminal (issue #2457) - We now autocomplete check IDs on the command line (issue #2457) - Even though we trid to add an install-rule for the bash-completion script on setup.py, we ended up removing it because it was not yet done in a cross-platform compatible manner. We'll get back to it later. For now users will have to manually install the script if they want bash completion to work. On MacOS it should typically be saved on `/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d` and on GNU+Linux a good target directory would typically be `/etc/bash_completion.d`. More info at issue #2465. ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/code_pages]:** Detects when no code page was declared on the OS/2 table, fields ulCodePageRange1 and ulCodePageRange2 (issue #2474) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/find_empty_letters]:** "Letters in font have glyphs that are not empty?" (PR #2460) - **[com.google.fonts/check/repo/dirname_matches_nameid_1]:** "Directory name in GFonts repo structure must match NameID 1." (issue #2302) - **[com.google.fonts/check/family/vertical_metrics]:** "Each font in a family must have the same vertical metrics values." (PR #2468) ### Bug fixes - **[com.adobe.fonts/cff_call_depth]:** fixed handling of font dicts in a CFF (PR #2461) - Declare fonttools' unicode extra-dependency on our rquirements.txt and setup.py so that unicodedata2 is properly installed. (issue #2462) - Shorten too verbose log messages in a few checks. (issue #2436) ## 0.7.2 (2019-Apr-09) ### Note-worthy code changes - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/family_and_style_max_length]:** increased max length to 27 chars. After discussing the problem in more detail at issue #2179 we decided that allowing up to 27 chars would still be on the safe side. Please also see issue #2447 ### Bug fixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/family/equal_glyph_names]:** Fix ERROR. When dealing with variable fonts, we end up getting None from the style condition. So we display filenames in those cases. But we still display styles when dealing with statics fonts. (issue #2375) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/cff_call_depth]:** don't assume private subroutines in a CFF (PR #2437) - **[com.adobe.fonts/cff2_call_depth]:** fixed handling of font dicts (and private subroutines) in a CFF2 (PR #2441) - **[com.google.fonts/check/contour_count]:** Filter out the .ttfautohint glyph component from the contour count (issue #2443) ### Dependencies - Removed the unidecode dependency. It is better to read log messages with the actual unicode strings instead of transliterations of them. ## 0.7.1 (2019-Apr-02) ### Major code-changes - The new "universal" profile contains checks for best practices agreed upon on the type design community. (issue #2426) - The initial set of checks will be not only the full opentype profile but also those checks original included in both `adobefonts` and `googlefonts` profiles. - The goal is to keep the vendor-specific profiles with only the minimal set of checks that are really specific, while the shared ones are placed on the universal profile. ### New checks - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/cff_call_depth]:** "Is the CFF subr/gsubr call depth > 10?" (PR #2425) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/cff2_call_depth]:** "Is the CFF2 subr/gsubr call depth > 10?" (PR #2425) - **[com.google.fonts/check/family/control_chars]:** "Are there unacceptable control characters in the font?" (PR #2430) - **[com.google.fonts/check/name/trailing_spaces]:** "Name table records must not have trailing spaces." (issue #2417) ## 0.7.0 (2019-Mar-22) ### Major code-changes - The term "specification" (including directory paths, class names and method names such as Spec, FontsSpec, etc) was replaced by "profile" throughout the codebase. The reason for this renaming was to avoid confusing with other uses of the term such as in "OpenType Specification". - All numerical check-IDs were renamed to keyword-based IDs. We may still change them as we see fit and we plan to freeze the check-id naming when Font Bakery 1.0.0 is released. ### Bug fixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/canonical_filename]:** Distinguish static from varfont when reporting correctness of fontfile names. There are special naming rules for variable fonts. (issue #2396) - Fix bug in handling of `most_common_width` in `glyph_metrics_stats` which affected checking of monospaced metadata. (PR #2391) - Fix handling of `post.isFixedPitch` (accept any nonzero value). (PR #2392) - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/valid_copyright]:** Check was being skipped when run on upstream font repos which don't have a METADATA.pb file. This check will now only test METADATA.pb files. A new check has been added to check the copyright string in fonts. ### Other relevant code-changes - We temporarily disabled com.google.fonts/check/metadata/match_filename_postscript for variable fonts until we have a clear definition of the VF naming rules as discussed at https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1817 - We are now using portable paths on the code-tests. (issue #2398) - The Adobe Fonts profile now includes FontForge checks. (PR #2401) - Improve emoji output of `--ghmarkdown` option, so that actual emoji appear in text editors, rather than the previous emoji names - The HTML reporter will now display check results more table-like, which makes multi-line check results look better. ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/font_copyright]: "Copyright notices match canonical pattern in fonts"** (PR #2409) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/postscript_name_consistency]:** "Name table ID 6 (PostScript name) must be consistent across platforms." (PR #2394) ## Some check id renaming for better naming consistency: - **[com.google.fonts/check/tnum_horizontal_metrics]:** com.google.fonts/check/family/tnum_horizontal_metrics - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/bold_italic_unique_for_nameid1]:** com.adobe.fonts/check/family/bold_italic_unique_for_nameid1 -

Fix bug in which a singular ttFont condition causes a family-wide (ttFonts) check to be executed once per font. (issue #2370) - **[com.google.fonts/check/079]:** Fixed bug in which this check was not confirming that font seemed monospaced before reporting different advance widths. (PR #2368, part of issue #2366) - Protect condition ttfautohint_stats against non-ttf fonts (issue #2385) - **[com.google/fonts/check/040]:** Cap accepted winDescent and winAscent values. Both should be less than double their respective bounding box values. ### New features - We now have an Adobe collection of checks (specification). It will include more checks in future releases. (PR #2369) - The `FontSpec` class now has a `get_family_checks()` method that returns a list of family-level checks. (PR #2380) ### New checks - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/bold_italic_unique_for_nameid1]:** "OS/2.fsSelection bold & italic are unique for each NameID1" (PR #2388) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/fsselection_matches_macstyle]:** "OS/2.fsSelection and head.macStyle bold and italic bits match." (PR #2382) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/max_4_fonts_per_family_name]:** "Each group of fonts with same nameID 1 has maximum of 4 fonts." (PR #2372) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/consistent_upm]:** "Fonts have consistent units per em." (PR #2372) - **[com.adobe.fonts/check/name_empty_records]:** "Check 'name' table for empty records." (PR #2369) ## 0.6.11 (2019-Feb-18) ### Documentation - Update maintainer notes so that we do not forget to update the cache of vendor ids list. (issue #2359) ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/integer_ppem_if_hinted]:** "PPEM must be an integer on hinted fonts." (issue #2338) ### New conditions - **[is_hinted]:** allows restricting certain checks to only run on hinted fonts. Detection is based on the presence of an "fpgm" (Font Program) table. ### Bugfixes - **[fontbakery.utils.download_file]:** Fix error message when ssl certificates are not installed. (issue #2346) - **[fontbakery.specifications.shared_conditions]:** Determine whether a font is monospaced by analysing the ascii character set only. (issue #2202) - **[fontbakery.specifications.googlefonts.registered_vendor_ids]:** Update cache of vendor ID list from Microsoft's website. (issue #2359) ### new Code-tests - **[registered_vendor_ids condition]:** Make sure several corner cases are properly parsed. This includes ensuring that vendor IDs lacking a URL are properly handled. (issue #2359) ## 0.6.10 (2019-Feb-11) ### Documentation - The documentation was updated incorporating an article that was originally presented at the 9ET conference in Portugal in the end of 2018. The article gives a detailed overview of the goals of the Font Bakery project. ### Bugfixes - **[fontbakery.utils.download_file]:** Printing a message with a hint of a possible fix to "SSL bad certificate" when trying to download files. (issue #2274) ### Deprecated checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/076]:** "unique unicode codepoints" - This check seemd impossible to FAIL! (issue #2324) ### Dependencies (concrete deps on requirements.txt) - **[fontTools]:** upgraded to 3.37.0 ### new Code-tests - Code-coverage: 63% (same as on v0.6.9) - **[com.google.fonts/check/has_ttfautohint_params]:** (issue #2312) - **[com.google.fonts/check/077]:** "all glyphs have codepoints" - I am unaware of any font that actually FAILs this check, though... (issue #2325) ## 0.6.9 (2019-Feb-04) ### Bugfixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/034]:** fix explanation of xAvgWidth on WARN/INFO messages. (issue #2285) ### Other code changes - Adopting python type hint notation. ## 0.6.8 (2019-Jan-28) ### Bugfixes ### - **[FontBakeryCondition:licenses]:** Do not crash when font project is not in a git repo (issue #2296) ## 0.6.7 (2019-Jan-21) ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/tnum_horizontal_metrics]:** "All tabular figures must have the same width across the whole family." (issue #2278) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/056]:** Require ttfautohint. Emit an ERROR when it is not properly installed in the system. (issue #1851) - **[com.google.fonts/check/092 & 108]:** Use *Typographic Family Name* instead of *Font Family Name* if it exists in the font's name table. ### Deprecated checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/119]:** "TTFAutohint x-height increase value is same as in previous release on Google Fonts?". Marc Foley said: "Since we now have visual diffing, I would like to remove it. This test is also bunk because ttfautohint's results are not consistent when they update it." (issue #2280) ### Other code changes - Added more valid options of contour count values for Oslash and f_f_i glyphs (issue #1851) - The HTML reporter now places the percentages summary before the check details. - updated dependencies on setup.py and requirements.txt to make sure we ship exactly what we test during development (issue #2174) ## 0.6.6 (2018-Dec-20) ### New Checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/wght_valid_range]:** Weight axis coordinate must be within spec range of 1 to 1000 on all instances. (issue #2264) ### Bugfixes - fixed the checkID variable in our ghmarkdown reporter (the f-string syntax was broken) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/153]:** Disable "expected contour count" check for variable fonts. There's plenty of alternative ways of constructing glyphs with multiple outlines for each feature in a VarFont. The expected contour count data for this check is currently optimized for the typical construction of glyphs in static fonts. (issue #2262) - **[com.google.fonts/check/046]:** Removed restriction on CFF2 fonts because the helper method `glyph_has_ink` now handles `CFF2`. - **[com.google.fonts/check/049]:** Removed restriction on CFF2 fonts because the helper method `glyph_has_ink` now handles `CFF2`. ## 0.6.5 (2018-Dec-10) ### New Checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/metadata/parses]:** "Check METADATA.pb parse correctly." (issue #2248) - **[com.google.fonts/check/fvar_name_entries]:** "All name entries referenced by fvar instances exist on the name table?" (issue #2069) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_has_instances]:** "A variable font must have named instances." (issue #2127) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont_weight_instances]:** "Variable font weight coordinates must be multiples of 100." (issue #2258) ### Bug fixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/054]:** Correct math in report of font file size change by properly converting result to a percentage. - **[com.google.fonts/check/100]:** Fix check that would never FAIL. Now it runs correctly. (issue #1836) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/046]:** Removed restriction on CFF fonts (and added restriction on CFF2 pending a fonttools bug fix) because the helper method `glyph_has_ink` now handles `CFF` as well as `glyf`. - **[com.google.fonts/check/049]:** Removed restriction on CFF fonts (and added restriction on CFF2 pending a fonttools bug fix) because the helper method `glyph_has_ink` now handles `CFF` as well as `glyf`. ## 0.6.4 (2018-Dec-03) ### New Features - Nikolaus Waxweiler has contributed an HTML reporter. It can be used by passing -html filename.html to the command line. Thanks a lot! ### New checks - **[com.abobe.fonts/check/postscript_name_cff_vs_name]:** CFF table FontName must match name table ID 6 (PostScript name). (PR #2229) ### Bug fixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/011]:** Safeguard against reporting style=`None` by only running the check when all font files are named canonically. (issue #2196) - **[com.google.fonts/check/065]:** Fix AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'items'. (issue #2203) - **[FontBakeryCondition:remote_styles]:** fix UnboundLocalError. local variable 'remote_style' was referenced before assignment. (issue #2204) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/011]:** List which glyphs differ among font files (issue #2196) - **[com.google.fonts/check/043]:** unitsPerEm check on OpenType profile is now less opinionated. Only FAILs when strictly invalid according to the spec. (issue #2185) - **[com.google.fonts/check/116]:** Implement stricter criteria for the values of unitsPerEm on Google Fonts. (issue #2185) ### Other relevant code changes - **[setup.py]:** display README.md as long-description on PyPI webpage. (issue #2225) - **[README.md]:** mention our new developer chat channel at https://gitter.im/fontbakery/Lobby - **[Dependencies]:** The following 2 modules are actually needed by fontTools: fs and unicodedata2. ## 0.6.3 (2018-Nov-26) ### Bug fixes - **[GHMarkdown output]:** PR #2167 (__str__ for Section and Check) was reverted because it was causing the ghmarkdown output to crash. We may get back to it later, but being more careful about the side effects of it. (issue #2194) - **[com.google.fonts/check/028]:** Also search for a license file on the git-repo rootdir if the font project is in a repo. (issue #2087) - **[com.google.fonts/check/062]:** fix a typo leading to a bad string formatting syntax crash. (issue #2183) - **[code-test: check/154]:** Fixed the code-test and made it safer under eventual conectivity issues. (issue #1712) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/ttx_roundtrip]:** Improved the FAIL message to give the users a hint about what could have gone wrong. The most likely reason is a shortcoming on fonttools that makes TTX generate corrupt XML files when dealing with contol code chars in the name table. (issue #2212) - **[com.google.fonts/check/001]:** Accept variable font filenames with Roman/Italic suffixes (issue #2214) - **[com.google.fonts/check/034]:** Downgrade xAvgWidth check from FAIL to WARN since sometimes it diverges from GlyphsApp. Also, it seems that the value is not actually used on relevant programs. I still want to clarify what's going on with GlyphsApp calculations of this value. Once that's figured out, we may redefine the severity of the check once again. (issue #2095) - **[com.google.fonts/check/097]:** Accept variable font filenames with Roman/Italic suffixes (issue #2214) - **[com.google.fonts/check/102]:** Check for consistency of copyright notice strings on both METADATA.pb and on name table entries. (issue #2210) - **[com.google.fonts/check/105]:** Accept variable font filenames with Roman/Italic suffixes (issue #2214) ## 0.6.2 (2018-Nov-19) ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/ftxvalidator_is_available]:** Detects whether the ftxvalidator is installed on the system or not. ### Bug fixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/098]:** In some cases the check did not yield any result. (issue #2206) - **[com.google.fonts/check/ttx_roundtrip]:** Delete temporary XML that is generated by the TTX round-tripping check. (issue #2193) - **[com.google.fonts/check/119]:** Fix `'msg'` referenced before assignment (issue #2201) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/130]:** update italic angle check with "over -30 degrees" FAIL and "over -20 degrees" WARN (#2197) - **[com.google.fonts/check/ttx_roundtrip]:** Emit a FAIL when TTX roundtripping results in a parsing error (ExpatError) since a malformed XML most likely means an issue with the font. (issue #2205) ## 0.6.1 (2018-Nov-11) ### New checks - **['com.google.fonts/check/aat']:** "Are there unwanted Apple tables?" (PR #2190) ### Bug fixes - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontbakery_version]:** Fix crash - **[com.google.fonts/check/153]:** Fix expected contour count for glyphs zerowidthjoiner(uni200D) and zerowidthnonjoiner(uni200C) from 1 to 0 ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/053]**: Clarify unwanted tables ## 0.6.0 (2018-Nov-08) ### Noteworthy changes - Now we have our documentation hosted at https://fontbakery.readthedocs.io/ - Limit ammount of details printed by fontval checks and group fontval checks to make their data more readable. - Print Font Bakery version on the header of Markdown reports, so that we know if a report was generated with an old version. (issue #2133) - Add 'axes' field to protocol-buffer schema - moving FontVal wrapper to a separate spec (issue #2169) - Added a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md ### new checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/vttclean]:** There must not be VTT Talk sources in the font. (issue #2059) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/has_HVAR]:** Var Fonts have HVAR table to avoid costly text-layout operations on some platforms. (issue #2119) - **[com.google.fonts/check/varfont/has_MVAR] (but temporarily disabled):** Var Fonts must have an MVAR table layout-software depend on it. (issue #2118) - **[com.google.fonts/check/fontbakery_version]:** A new 'meta' check to ensure Font Bakery is up-to-date so that we avoid relying on out-dated checking routines. (issue #2093) ### modifications to existing checks - Correct the error message for the check for identical glyph names. Avialable and missing style names were swapped. - Mute FVal E5200 (based on outdated OT spec) for var fonts. (issue #2109) - FontVal outline intersection checks should not run for VF. Variable Fonts typically have lots of intersecting contours and components. - Adopt FVal W0022 rationale for com.google.fonts/check/052 and disable this FontVal check as it is already covered by check/052 routines. - disable FVal check W0020: "Tables are not in optimal order" (fixes issue #2105) - Improve rationale for com.google.fonts/check/058 - check/158: use Message obj to differentiate kinds of FAILs (issue #1974) - check/158: test the PASS scenarios for full 18-style family (issue #1974) - factor out "style_with_spaces" as a condition. (issue #1974) - test FAIL "invalid-entry" on check/158 (issue #1974) - test FAIL "bad-familyname" on check/158 (issue #1974) - Disable FontVal E4012 (GDEF header v1.3 not yet recognized) (issue #2131) - skip check/072 if font is VTT hinted (issue #2139) - do not run check/046 on CFF fonts because the helper method `glyph_has_ink` directly references `glyf`. In the future we may refactor it to also deal with CFF fonts. (issue #1994) - com.google.fonts/check/018: Downgrade archVendID to WARN - com.google.fonts/check/042: Add rationale. (issue #2157) ### Much more funky details... This is just a copy of several git log messages. Ideally I shuld clean these up for the sake of clarity... - ufo_sources: put existing checks into own section. Using the section name in reports requires using sensible section names. - [snippets] fontbakery-check-upstream.py added. This script will allow users to run fontbakery on an upstream github repository. The user has to provide the repo url and the directory containing the ttfs. - add code-test and bugfix check/162. Now the check ensures no ribbi font has a nameID=17 and all non-ribbi fonts have it and that it has a correct value. If any of the above is not true, the check emits a FAIL. (issue #1974) - add code-test and bugfix check/161. Now the check ensures no ribbi font has a nameID=16 and all non-ribbi fonts have it and that it has a correct value. If any of the above is not true, the check emits a FAIL. (issue #1974) - Bump up requests version to mitigate CVE - [googlefonts.py] modify ttfa param testing string literal. See https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/pull/2116#issuecomment-431725719 - Do not check the ttfautohint params if font is not hinted. Skip the com.google.fonts/check/has_ttfautohint_params test if the font is not hinted using ttfautohint - fix implementation of blocklisting of FontVal checks (follow up for PRs #2102 and #2104) - Add comments to fontval check downgrades and silencing and also fix the implementation of silencing them. (issue #2102) - com.google.fonts/check/037: Downgrade missing Mac name table records to warn. Fontmake does not generate mac name table records. Apparently, they're not needed, https://github.com/googlei18n/fontmake/issues/414 - Decode ufolint output for better text display - Remove unnecessary dependencies. Custom Freetype no longer needed because we use Hintak's latest binaries for Ms Font Validator. - com.google.fonts/check/037: Simplify Ms Font Val subprocess call. In Windows, a .exe can be run without specifying the .exe extension. Therefore all three platforms can run FontValidator using the same call. - travis: Download and install Ms FontValidator - Raise NotImplementedError if user's system is not Unix based or Win - Run FontValidator.exe if user's OS is Win - Improve Font Validator installation and install instructions - Removed prebuilt FontVal. Use Hintak's binaries instead. - Drop render tests. Diffbrowsers should be used. - Added instructions for MAC and GNU Linux - [prebuilt] remove ots-sanitize binary. Transitioned to opentype-sanitizer in #2092 - implement code-test for com.google.fonts/check/157 and bugfix 157 and 158 (were reporting PASS even when FAILing) (issue #1974) - specify familyname and familyname_with_spaces as conditions to all checks that rely on those. Otherwise non-cannonical filenames could lead to fontbakery ERRORs. (issue #1974) - fix code-test for com.google.fonts/check/156 (issue #1974) - INSTALL_*.md: remove ots installation instructions, no longer needed as we install it automatically via pip now - general_test.py: test ots with invalid file - use ots.sanitize() instead of subprocess in check036 - setup.py: add opentype-sanitizer to install_requires - fix check/028 & add a test for family_directory condition. Now a license file on the current working directory is properly detected. (issue #2087) - Remove printing of number of checks in sections - Remove Python 2 compatibility remnant - check_specification: Use CheckRunner directly instead of runner_factory - Add check in/exclude test for no in/excluding - Python 3 does not need explicit derivation from object - improving the comments in code-test/008 so that it can be used as a didactic example of the purpose of code-tests. - Avoid private attribute in test - Add test for check selection - Make in/exclude check parameters fuzzy - Only ignore deprecation warnings from (from|to)string - Mute deprecation warnings. Temporarily solves issue #2079 - Add tests for loading specifications without errors - Move vtt_talk_sources to shared conditions - PriorityLevel enum (issue #2071) - remove PLATID_STR and NAMEID_STR as now those strings can be directly infered from the corresponding enum entries. Thanks for the tip, Nikolaus Waxweiler! (issue #2071) - MacStyle and FsSelection enums (issue #2071) - PANOSE_Proportion and IsFixedWidth enums (issue #2071) - PlatformID and *EncondingID enums (issue #2071) - using an enum for the NameIDs (issue #2071) - print messages telling the user where JSON and Markdown reports were saved to. (issue #2050) - Add code-tests to ttx roundtrip check and fix issue #2048 by not checking ttx roundtripping on fonts that did not yet have VTT Talk sources cleaned out of its TSI* tables (this should always be done prior to release). - Add `__main__` entry point. Makes it possible to run fontbakery from `python -m fontbakery`. Useful if Python script path not in PATH. - Skip TTF-only checks for OTF fonts (issue #2040) - bump up fontTools version requirement due to our usage of the getBestCmap method. (issue #2043) - [specifications/googlefonts] condition github_gfonts_ttFont it is LICENSE.txt for apache - [specifications/googlefonts] condition registered_vendor_ids open file as utf-8 - [specifications/general] fix condition fontforge_check_results for python3 usage (bytes to string) - [INSTALL.md] added removal steps for ots zip archive file and archive directory - [INSTALL.md] modify ots-sanitize installation approach (issue #2041) ## 0.5.1 (2018-Aug-31) This release-cycle focused on addressing the issues brought up by attendees at the MFDOS - Multiple Font Distributors Onboarding Summit- an event organized by Dave Crossland during TypeCon 2018 in Portland, Oregon. More info on MFDOS is available at: https://github.com/davelab6/mfdos ### Release highlights & new features / noteworthy bugfixes - Added a --version command line switch. - We're now using ttfautohint-py to ensure users always run the latest available version. - **[BUGFIX]:** Only run regression checks if family is on GF (There was a bug in the implementation that was causing HTTP Errors since it was attempting to fetch the files even though they're not listed on the gfonts API). - **[BUGFIX]:** Access kern data and ligatures by looking up features in order to find the correct Lookup entries with the data. Previous implentation was buggy because it included all lookups regardless of whether they were referenced by the specific features or not, resulting in non-sensical FAIL messages in the caret-positioning and ligature related checks. - **[INSTALL.md]:** include macOS >= 10.13 for ftxvalidator install docs. ### New dependencies - **ttfautohint-py** from PyPI ### deprecated dependencies - A system-wide install of ttfautohint is not needed anymore.

(issue #1773) ### Deprecated checks: - **[com.google.fonts/check/080]** METADATA.pb: Ensure designer simple short name. ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/044]:** Split code-test and check_parse_version_string function. - **[com.google.fonts/check/044]:** Accept rounding fontRevision due to bad interpretations of float values causing false-FAILs (such as 1.001 being interpreted as 1.00099). - **[com.google.fonts/check/054]:** Simplified ttfautohint-related checks and implemented their code-tests - **[com.google.fonts/check/056]:** Simplified ttfautohint-related checks and implemented their code-tests - **[com.google.fonts/check/058]:** Add .ttfautohint glyph to valid glyphs. - **[com.google.fonts/check/062]:** Improved verbosity of the gasp-table check - **[com.google.fonts/check/062]:** Do not fail or error on absence of 'gasp' table if font contains a 'CFF' or 'CFF2' table. - **[com.google.fonts/check/064]:** Fixed buggy implementations of ligatures and caret positions checks. - **[com.google.fonts/check/065]:** Fixed buggy implementations of ligatures and caret positions checks. - **[com.google.fonts/check/153]:** Do not fail or error on absence of 'glyf' table if font contains a 'CFF' or 'CFF2' table. - **[com.google.fonts/check/153]:** Fix typos: change "counters" to "contours". - **[com.google.fonts/check/155]:** Added K2D as yet another familyname "camelcase" exception - **[com.google.fonts/check/180]:** Do not fail or error on absence of 'loca' table if font contains a 'CFF' or 'CFF2' table. ### Code-Test coverage - We currently have code-tests covering 59% of Font Bakery's codebase. ## 0.5.0 (2018-Jul-31) ### Release highlights & new features - focused on overall bugfixing and improving codebase test-coverage. - first Python 3-only release. - We've got a cupcake ASCII art by Tony de Marco! Cheers!!! ### New checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/ttx_roundtrip]:** Make sure the font roundtrips nicely on the TTX tool (issue #1763) ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/001]:** Added support for canonical variable font filenames - **[com.google.fonts/check/018]:** Update cached vendor list from microsoft - **[com.google.fonts/check/020]:** Move it entirely to GFonts spec and simplify the code - **[com.google.fonts/check/032]:** Moved to specs/googlefonts.py - updating max-length for description name entries - **[com.google.fonts/check/035]:** Update plist module API used - **[com.google.fonts/check/038]:** fontforge check (038) must only emit WARNs - **[com.google.fonts/check/039]:** Custom override of fontforge failure results - **[com.google.fonts/check/040]:** Moved to specs/googlefonts.py - **[com.google.fonts/check/042]:** Moved to specs/googlefonts.py - **[com.google.fonts/check/046]:** Only check for .notdef glyph. Previously, the OpenType spec recommended .notdef, .null, CR and space as the first four glyphs, but OpenType v1.8.0 specification removed this, .notdef is now the only recommended glyph - **[com.google.fonts/check/071]:** Remove "usWeight is multiple of 50" checking routine.

He also wrote technical documentation (available at https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/blob/main/docs/writing-specifications.md) describing how to create Font Bakery specs with a customized set of checks. ### Code-Test coverage - We currently have code-tests covering 55% of Font Bakery's codebase. ### New checks - **[com.daltonmaag/check/ufolint]:** "Run ufolint on UFO source directory." - **[com.daltonmaag/check/ufo_required_fields]:** "Check that required fields are present in the UFO fontinfo. - ufo2ft requires these info fields to compile a font binary: unitsPerEm, ascender, descender, xHeight, capHeight and familyName." - **[com.daltonmaag/check/ufo_recommended_fields]:** "Check that recommended fields are present in the UFO fontinfo. - This includes fields that should be in any production font." - **[com.daltonmaag/check/ufo_unnecessary_fields]:** "Check that no unnecessary fields are present in the UFO fontinfo. - ufo2ft will generate these. - openTypeOS2UnicodeRanges and openTypeOS2CodePageRanges are exempted because it is useful to toggle a range when not _all_ the glyphs in that region are present. - year is deprecated since UFO v2." - **[com.google.fonts/check/167]:** "The variable font 'wght' (Weight) axis coordinate must be 400 on the 'Regular' instance: - If a variable font has a 'wght' (Weight) axis, then the coordinate of its 'Regular' instance is required to be 400." - **[com.google.fonts/check/168]:** "The variable font 'wdth' (Width) axis coordinate must be 100 on the 'Regular' instance: - If a variable font has a 'wdth' (Width) axis, then the coordinate of its 'Regular' instance is required to be 100." - **[com.google.fonts/check/169]:** "The variable font 'slnt' (Slant) axis coordinate must be zero on the 'Regular' instance: - If a variable font has a 'slnt' (Slant) axis, then the coordinate of its 'Regular' instance is required to be zero." - **[com.google.fonts/check/170]:** "The variable font 'ital' (Italic) axis coordinate must be zero on the 'Regular' instance: - If a variable font has a 'ital' (Italic) axis, then the coordinate of its 'Regular' instance is required to be zero." - **[com.google.fonts/check/171]:** "The variable font 'opsz' (Optical Size) axis coordinate should be between 9 and 13 on the 'Regular' instance: - If a variable font has a 'opsz' (Optical Size) axis, then the coordinate of its 'Regular' instance is recommended to be a value in the range 9 to 13." - **[com.google.fonts/check/172]:** "The variable font 'wght' (Weight) axis coordinate must be 700 on the 'Bold' instance: - The Open-Type spec's registered design-variation tag 'wght' does not specify a required value for the 'Bold' instance of a variable font. But Dave Crossland suggested that we should enforce a required value of 700 in this case." - **[com.google.fonts/check/173]:** "Check that advance widths cannot be inferred as negative: - Advance width values in the Horizontal Metrics (htmx) table cannot be negative since they are encoded as unsigned 16-bit values. But some programs may infer and report a negative advance by looking up the x-coordinates of the glyphs directly on the glyf table. - There are reports of broken versions of Glyphs.app causing this kind of problem as reported at https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/issues/1720 and https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/pull/1198 - This check detects and reports such malformed glyf table entries." (**Note:** New but disabled - See details below) - **[com.google.fonts/check/174]:** "Check a static ttf can be generated from a variable font: - Google Fonts may serve static fonts which have been generated from variable fonts. - This test will attempt to generate a static ttf using fontTool's varLib mutator." ### Changes to existing checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/008]:** Add rationale metadata & List diverging underlineThickness values across a family. - **[com.google.fonts/check/011]:** Display divergence on num of glyphs for all styles. - **[com.google.fonts/check/012]:** Verbose listing of glyphnames mismatches across families. - **[com.google.fonts/check/018]:** Do not require identical vendorid & manufacturer names anymore. - **[com.google.fonts/check/030]:** Accept Ubuntu Font License for legacy families. - **[com.google.fonts/check/037]:** Remove fval.xsl file after running FontValidator & FontVal may not create a HTML report, so test for it before removing it. - **[com.google.fonts/check/052]:** Reimplementation / Make STAT only required for variable fonts. - **[com.google.fonts/check/053]:** Add TSI5 table (VTT or VOLT) as unwanted - **[com.google.fonts/check/055]:** Add quotes to log message to remove ambiguity. - **[com.google.fonts/check/058]** & **[com.google.fonts/check/059]:** `SKIP` when post table format is 3.0, since they contain no glyph names in that table format. - **[com.google.fonts/check/062]:** "Is 'gasp' table set to optimize rendering?" - Improve wording of log-messages and check-results for better clarity. - **[com.google.fonts/check/117]:** Check version increments also on github repo. Before we were only checking on prod servers. - **[com.google.fonts/check/155]:** Added IBM Plex fonts to the list of exceptions of family names with spaces. - **[com.google.fonts/check/165]** & **[com.google.fonts/check/166]:** Refactoring of code dealing with font versioning (using font-v dependency). ### Deprecated checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/060]:** "No glyph is incorrectly named?" - The problem is already properly identified by other checks: (com.google.fonts/check/058 and com.google.fonts/check/059). ### Temporarily disabled checks - **[com.google.fonts/check/078]:** "glyph names do not exceed max length". Disabled until we figure out the rationale. - **[com.google.fonts/check/082]:** We currently lack a profiles.csv file on the google/fonts git repo, after https://github.com/google/fonts/commit/188dc570f6610ed1c7ea1aa7d6269a238d4c93ff (See issue #1728) - **[com.google.fonts/check/154]:** It was intermitently failing due to network instability. Needs to be redesigned. - **[com.google.fonts/check/173]:** (New but disabled) The initial implementation was bogus due to the way fonttools encodes the data into the TTF files and the new attempt at targetting the real problem is still not quite right. ### Miscelaneous code changes & bugfixes - Boilerplate code was added on the `tests/specifications/` directory documenting the requirements of all still unimplemented code-tests in the hope of inviting new contributions. Feel free to pick a few and submmit pull requests! - [condition familyname_with_spaces]: Added special case for handling font family names containing " of ". - Implemented is_ttf & is_cff conditions, as suggested by Lasse at issue #1797. - Improved MacOSX install instructions based on feedback from https://github.com/cadsondemak/Srisakdi/issues/5 - Support uppercase '.TTF' extension. Probably a need due to Windows filesystem quirks... - Also support loading both TTF and OTF flavours for checking. - move all free-form miscelaneous check metadata into a generic misc_metadata field (see issue #1584) - Release procedures are now simplified with setuptools_scm - Fixed some crashes (See issues #1709, #1723, #1722) ## 0.3.4 (2017-Dec-22) - FB Dashboard-related improvements. - Added --list-checks command line switch to list all available checks - check/052: WebKit in MacOS 10.12 requires 'STAT' tables - restrict non-ASCII check to nameids 0 and 6 only - Adopted font-v python module as a dependency for managing font version strings - check/034: Changed calc of expected value for xAvgCharWidth - new check/166: ensure familynames are unique (query namecheck.fontdata.com) - Nomenclature change: font tests are now called "checks" code-tests are now "tests" - All IDs were updated to use the "check" keyword such as "com.google.fonts/check/001" ## 0.3.3 (2017-Nov-23) - All auxiliary scripts have been moved into a separate python package called gftools (Google Fonts Tools) available at https://github.com/googlefonts/tools/ (source code repo on git) and at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gftools (installable package on PyPI). - Fontbakery is now solely focused on font family automated quality checks. - new subcommand: list-italicangle (moved to gftools as well) - several bugfixes ## 0.3.2 (2017-Oct-11) - Increased code testing now covering a bit more than half of the Google Fonts suite of checks (more code testing to be done on upcoming releases). - overall refactoring of all check implementations so that they're all self-contained - updated prebuilt FVal binary (built from proper sources) - Added APIs used by the web dashboard and report documents - allowlist: a few legacy CamelCased familynames (check/109) - Added VTT-related tables to the list of unwanted tables (check/053) - fixed computation of font_metadata condition - fixed crash on fontbakery-check-font-version.py - added automated code tests for the fixer scripts - deprecated pyfontaine checks (132 to 151) - deprecated the unified name table entries check (check/017) spliting it up into new individual per-entry checks (156 to 162) - overall bugfixing / code-quality improvements. ## 0.3.1 (2017-Aug-11) - Emergencial release to address broken 0.3.0 packaging. - setup.py: Added modules that were missing in previous release - setup.py: Fix Windows pathnames - New check: com.google.fonts/check/155 ("Copyright notice name entry matches those on METADATA.pb ?") - Updated requirement: Changed Copyright Notice format requirement (regex) on com.google.fonts/check/102 ("METADATA.pb: Copyright notice matches canonical pattern ?") ## 0.3.0 (2017-Aug-08) - New modular architecture for our framework of font checks. (see: https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/issues/1388) - A total of 120 GoogleFonts checks. - 44 code tests covering approximately a third of the code. (See: https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/issues/1413) - Upstream checks were removed as out-of-scope (See: https://github.com/googlefonts/gf-glyphs-scripts). - Plenty of miscelanious fixes for checks; Overall improved reliability.
