maple-font Google Fonts Support

I plan to upload this font to Google Fonts in next major version.

I'm using Fontlab, and its generated .glyphs / .glyphspackage will emit error while building using fontmake

fontmake: Error: In 'source\\MapleMono[wght].glyphspackage' -> 'master_ufo\\MapleMono.designspace': Compiling UFO failed: mark anchor cannot be numbered: '_t.uni031B_2'

My command:

fontmake -g ./source/MapleMono[wght].glyphspackage --keep-overlap

Seems related issue: https://github.com/googlefonts/fontmake/issues/1104

Run with fontbakery and fail on some rules.

family/win_ascent_and_descent: some box symbols in exceed winAscent and winDescent. I just copy them from JetBrains Mono

Find out how to fix the broken fontmake build: migrate correct anchors from JetBrains Mono.

I'm glad to see progress on this issue!

I'm just curious which version of Maple Mono will be uploaded to Google Fonts? Maple Mono or Maple Mono CN?

Indeed, I'm not sure, but I don't think the CN part is a good font due to its glyph quality.

I really admire your pursuit of aesthetics!

However, in reality, there has been a long-term lack of a monospaced Chinese font that is friendly to use on Google Fonts. Even Noto Mono CJK is not available on Google Fonts.💔

It would be perfect if both Maple Mono and Maple Mono CN could be provided.
