I hit that before: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/fonttools/JR1yvwyHj-I I whitelisted empty tables in fonttools: https://github.com/behdad/fonttools/issues/106 I think we need to test how well this actually works. Worst case, I can change fonttools to...
@rsheeter See if it works in IE.
You want to do that by constructing a webfont that maps, say, 'a' to an empty glyph, and see if IE uses the webfont or skips it.
What if glyf table has 1, or 4, zero bytes? Would that work? If yes, we should make fonttools do that.
Because right now an innocuous subset operation can generate fonts that will be rejected.
Hacking fonttools's _g_l_y_p.py is easiest. On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 5:07 PM, Khaled Hosny wrote: > I need to find how to build such a font. > > —...

Thanks. Yeah I ran the tool on latest Inter and there was no issue.
