Problems installing Bold Italic on macOS 10.14

Open ron-wolf opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

When I try to install the OTFs from the repository, I see the following error about “name table usability”.

Font Book.app Font Validation dialog box

I ran the following in fish shell from the top of the repo, and got the same malformed font file.

for ufo in source/'UFO (Beta)'/*.ufo
    fontmake -u $ufo -o otf --output-dir distr/otf
end

The problem is likely with the fontinfo.plist for the bold–italic style.

PRs welcome, there were problems with the plist names (see the commit history). I am not currently using this font, and have no time to investigate.

Bold Italic didn't work in my browser. FontForge complained about an invalid postscriptFontName. Once having removed the space in "Fira Mono-BoldItalic" => "FiraMono-BoldItalic", everything seems OK.
