Google Fonts Latin Core & Plus coverage

  • Design all the glyphs required both in the Latin Core + GF Latin Plus encoding
  • Create all the comb marks as mentioned below
  • Leave only the compound glyphs (e.g. adblgrave) marked in dark grey as pending to be created using the components

Diacritics

  • Please ensure the definitive design is adjusted in the combining marks, so they will be ready to create the compound glyphs.
  • Once the definitive design is ensured in the comb marks Legacy marks, delete the legacy marks and add them back so they are made using the comb marks as components.
  • Diacritics need to be balanced (in weight, size, contrast) and match the style of the typeface design.
  • Adjust the vertical position using glyphs app locked guidelines.
  • Ensure related marks are consistent between them, e.g. caron and circumflex
  • Caron.alt need to have the alternate shape used in Ľ Slovak On page 30 of this document you can find detailed info around the vertical Caron.
  • Leave a 0 sidebearings value for the marks

Glyphs

  • The ampersand and Eng need to be consistent (in size and style) with the font. See RUSerius as reference
  • The German Double SS need to be fixed. This article is a good reference
  • Currency symbols are related to the overall design and have balanced proportions
  • ordfeminine and ordmasculine as well as superior numbers are well proportioned and with a balanced stem thickness. Issue of reference
  • fractions and superior numerals have a good proportion + weight. Issue of reference

Spacing

  • Inspect the spacing and kerning of the font to ensure it is working properly and most common cases are covered. Issue of reference
  • Terminal forms spacing should avoid crashes or collisions. Issue of reference

@RobLeuschke @vv-monsalve

I've also noticed some problems with ae, oe and thorn:

(Please wait for Viviana's sign before fixing it, thank you!)

Hi @RobLeuschke, apart from what Nhung reports, the weight and style of O differs from the other capital letters

I've already updated the source file in DropBox, please take it to check and solve this.

The O has been modified to better conform to the rest of the font. This include component characters and the Œ.
